Hospital

A few days ago, my grandmother was hospitalized after she fell down the stairs. According to the doctor at the hospital, the stroke was caused by a thrombosis, although we will never know what happened first: the fall or the stroke.

The past few years she suffered from short-term memory loss. Since 2010 this problem has worsened. She was often distracted and sometimes even disoriented. Stubborn and proud as she was, she refused any assistance from outside the family despite the fact we insisted several times explaining the many services available and their advantages. Her physical situation was still far better than many of her peers. Mentally however, she was losing her grip on reality.

We have to wait how her situation evolves, but one thing is for sure: she will never be the same anymore…
