Saturday Quickies

Grandma Chronicles

They hospital released her on Friday. Earlier in the week, she showed signs of dementia and refused to eat anything, scrunching her eyes and mouth like a finicky three-year-old. Her doctor finally went over her prescriptions and discovered that she was either taking too much of one, or one of the medicines didn't agree with her system. That, coupled with the stress of having to move two times in one week, caused her episodes. A simple change of dosage/medication, and the next day, she sat up in bed joking with my Mom, eating her meals. After a few days, her doctor released her, but she must use either a walker or a wheel chair to get around and someone from her retirement home will be checking with her once or twice a day. The doctor told my Mom that Grandma's going to have her good days and bad days, but hopefully, she won't suffer another severe episode.

AIDS Walk

I walk tomorrow with a total of $1500 raised. Thank you to everyone who donated! The money raised will help healthcare agencies that have been hit hard by budget and grant cuts. (And, you can still donate. Just click on this link.)

Best of 2005

Just saw the film Crash this morning. Intense. Angry. Surprising. One of the best films I've seen so far this year. I'll write a bit more about it later, but go see it!
