La La La La La La La

Can you say "awkward"? That's my word to describe parts of my afternoon w/ my Grandma. Let me explain....I got a call at approx 2pm from my great uncle saying my gma was in the ER at CMH & could I go be w/ her b/c he had to go back to work. So I leave home feeling all warm & fuzzy cuz she thought to have him call ME and she wants ME to be there w/ her........I spent A LOT of time w/ her as a child & miss our visits. Well, I get to the hospital and they had already done a chest xray, EKG & CT scan so she proceeds to tell me her symptoms, etc. Then after that info we got caught up on all the "family news" about all my cousins & such. Soon after the dr came in & said all tests were clear and she was only severely dehydrated, she was being sent home & is to follow up w her regular dr next week. So........I think all is well, we will get her discharged & I will drive her back to Stockton.

NOT SO FAST!! She then proceeds to tell me about her other upcoming appt w another dr re: her bowel issues and describes it all in great detail. Followed by a tale of how she has used the same GYNECOLOGIST for 157 yrs and how much she likes him.

This is where I want to cover both ears & say "la la la la la la la la....I'm not listening." God bless her, I love her to pieces, she has been a huge part of my life but I do NOT care to discuss bowel problems nor gynecology issues w my grandma.

I have officially vowed that should God ever bless me w grandchildren of my own, I will not under any circumstances discuss bowels or gyno with them.

I LOVE MY GRANDMA!!! :)
