My cousin K just came back from a week long vacation in the US. She went to visit her dad who celebrated his birthday last September 8th. While there, she also visited our grandmother who, as I previously blogged, had a stroke.
She had lots of stories to tell about her vacation, especially since it has been some time since she last saw her parents and her sister. She also had an update about our grandma.
K says that grandma is okay and is doing fine, although, sometimes, she tends to forget things. There are times when she would wear her sweater inside out, or wear her sweater such that the back is at her front. And she would not realize what she has done until someone points it out to her. K says that this has become quite a concern for our aunts/uncles taking care of grandma. Grandma might hurt herself eventually if she keeps on forgetting things. And since she’s already showing signs of being absentminded, she might just wander off by herself and forget where she lives.
Times like these, it would be good if a medical alert were sent to her caretakers so that they can immediately know if something bad has happened to her. I know there are devices available in the market that can send such medical alerts. Maybe I should suggest this to my aunts/uncles.

hi cez.. how old is your grandma? my grandma is already turning 88 this year and she acts/thinks a bit like your grandma.. when our grandma initially started thinking/acting a bit differently everyone in the family really got alarmed. most of my aunts and uncles in US even went on sudden vacations here just to check on her. But it has gone for more than a year now so its like a normal thing for us already. Though it feels bad at first when you do not get identified by your grandma (luckily she never fails to identify me even if we rarely see each other!) Anyway, they really need special attention and care coz this is the times when they start being extra sensitive. God bless!
