Grandma is doing better

My Grandma moved back to her regular room over the weekend. This means she is doing "better". It looks like she will not die right away, but is on a L-O-N-G, S-L-O-W path to "recovery". The thing is she laid in bed for two weeks, had a really, really bad infection and is weaker than she has ever been. This just means more work for my family and the nurses. She is completely unable to feed herself, she is not using her arms (is is able to, but for what ever reason she is not), she is basically not speaking. To be honest, I am just tired of this. My mom and I have been helping talk care of her for six years now. It has been a long hard six years. Grandma has very little quality of life right now and I don't expect her to gain much quality. It is no fun for her or us. This is just a hard thing to deal with . . .
