There I am, around 11 o'clock at night, with police and medical staff standing around my grandma, in a resort room on vacation. What a nightmarish feeling. I mean, I could not believe this was happening. I was scared, I felt helpless. I wondered about what the next few days would bring and hey, let's face it, I wondered what would become of the rest of our vacation. Call me selfish but I am human and I thought it.
I asked my mom what the hell would happen? I mean, obviously my grandmother was not going to withstand a 2 day drive back home. I wondered if we should have all left at that moment and just have my mom and grandma fly home? My first instinct was to get my grandmother HOME to her own doctors. I knew that was unrealistic. She was going to have to get better before she would be able to travel. One thing at a time!
After about 20 minutes or so they had her in the ambulance and my mom went along. Once they were gone that's when it all became much too real for me and I just cried. I was afraid of what was (possibly) wrong with her, of course I didn't want to lose my grandmother and certainly not while we were all on vacation. I was scared in general. I mean, we were all so far from home!
With all this going on in my mom and grandma's room, which was CONNECTED to my room, where the boys, CJ and Fawn were staying, would you believe they were all asleep!? Am I mad? Not anymore. At the time? Hell yes! I did say something to Fawn the next day, that I couldn't believe she and CJ slept through that whole ordeal and she said she was just so exhausted. Am I mad now? No, I'm over it but when I think back, yea, I'm still dumbfounded.
My grandmother was rushed to the fucking hospital by ambulance and that's how much everyone was concerned???? By sleeping??!! HUH?
