[Prudence]

As far as I know my grandma made it through the night. They were going to install a feeding tube today. This isn't totally abnormal for her - she doesn't do well in hospitals or nursing homes, so they need to make her strong enough to go home, where she does eat.

Meanwhile, can I just say how evil nursing homes can be? They seem to have this idea that she's frail and disabled and should just die already. But see, she's stubborn. If she actually doesn't want to die, she won't. So make her more comfortable, dammit. Don't just decide a doctor doesn't need to see her because she's old and sick and will probably die. Especially when you made a big stink and involved a social worker who made waves and insisted grandma needed to go to a nursing home "to get the kind of care she needs" instead of going home, where my grandpa takes very good care of her. GRRRRRR!!!!!!

Sorry - probably should have put that in the vent thread.
