Hospital

Grandda doesn't look good today. He sleeps through most of day time and also we find some problems on him. Therefore, we make the appointment with urology for a check out. Lucky us, it is not a big issue. But Grandda is in a shock when we arrive hospital, he wasn't prepared to see a doctor. But be honest, I don't like the doctor's attitude, even the nurse agrees my opinion. Grandma is nagging as usual, I can't believe she was giving briefing for their last 2 month's life to Dcotor. I have to grab her out of the exam room. It is difficult to get a parking space in hospital, also they charge 50 NTD per hour, so we get a lift from Dad and take a taxi home. It surprised me with the kindness taxi driver. He doesn't mind to wait for Grandda move in and out of his taxi (which takes 10 minutes per journey), also he takes care of Grandda's wheelchair, so I can concerntrate on moving Grandda. And he even returns my tips, I should get his number for future use. Coz of this trip, I think Grandparents will stay for another week for 2nd check out.
A trip to hospital surprised Grandda a lot, so he still can remember the embarrassment after nap. Grandda gets depressed and refuses to get off his bed. As usual, he can't remember me; he even thinks Daniel was Mark and I was Grandda's mother-in-law. It is so annoying to introduce myself everyday, and he needs it twice (morning and afternoon). When he can reconize me, even more difficult to get him off bed. He starts to talk about career, acchievement, family value and being our lead; and then he takes the store as the first step of death, refuses to take shower chair. Oh, my goodness, if I can know all those things will happen, I should prepare him before we make an apointment with Doctor. It takes us 2 hours to beg Grandda out of his bed, another 2 hours to have dinner. But his appetite is bad, maybe he still minds what happened. We will see tomorrow.
Now, everybody is asleep but me. I look back this morning, a professional helper is needed. Even I am young, but I can't be at home all the time. Grandma is old, she can't be the person to care Grandda and herself. Moving Grandda in flat ground is easy, sometimes, Grandda wants to move fast but he can't stand stable, easy to fall. Moving Grandda up and down stairs is a big project. Grandda is afraid of stairs, he has lost his left eye vision and right eye vision is not clear neither. Moving on stairs would make his blood pressure higher, he often gets dizzy afterward. There will be some works to do before finding a helper. God helps us!
