i stared at my own retirement bed with wide eyes. this would be me someday. i will get old. it's inevitable...it's the only sure thing in life...i will die someday, and it will all be over and done with. and my thoughts on this while driving home from the hospital, was "God creator of the Earth, and heaven, ordained this to happen. and He knows that it is good. this is good"

i went to go visit my grandma in the hospital, cuz she broke her ankle, slipped on the wet floor at home and broke her ankle- it was sideways and she HERSELF cracked it back into place....while nobody was there...while she was alone...she endured...she triumped, she conquored.
but she'll be alright...i know she will.
but seeing her in that bed made me think two things:
1. these nurses go through A LOT- (meaning personal stuff- like they wipe people's BUTTS!)
2. these nurses will someday be in the same spot as the person they're helping.
and a third...
3. i will someday be in grandma's spot, on the bed...

i dont' wanna be. i don't want somebody wiping my butt..it's embarrasing...it's totally humiliating..

so i thought i might just take the time to type this- i felt WEIRD all day long too...and i wonder if this is the reason why- cuz grandma fell. - and i didn't know it at that time, but the Lord was trying to tell me.
hmmm.

i'm going hiking tomorrow. and i'm gonna stay up late tonight to finish up a bit of homework- being productive.

April, this is Suhas, I am having problems with my mailbox, I was reading through your posts. You are a strong girl and I suppose you should not grow weak by thinking about what you saw in the Hospital. It is sad that your grandma had to face all that. We have to live life as it comes. God helps us see things and prepares us to face the worst. I agree with you it is indeed embarassing that you have to depend on others for things you could do yourself. Well, you don't have to place yourself now in your grandma's shoes, just take it easy and relax. God is With you and your grandma,she will get well soon... You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you and all at your place.
