Kansas City, Kansas 2005

My mother’s mother died last night after various complications relating to being 92 years old and falling hard. Both my parents were out there for the last week dealing with hospital stuff and all that mess. She was released from the hospital on Thursday. My dad headed back and made it to Denver today while my mom stayed behind to take care of her.

It turned out that while she was doing much better, she was mostly doing so because of all sorts of hospital contraptions that were plugged into her. She no longer needed to be in the ICU, but the regular beds were all full—so she was sent home. After she made it back the hospice nurse saw what was coming, had the sisters over and City Grandma called it a night.
