My grandmother, whose 90th birthday will be this March, was admitted into the hospital with congestive heart failure. She lives alone. She suddenly started to feel very weak, and was smart enough to ask a neighbor to take her to the doctor – who immediately admitted her to the hospital. She’s had major heart surgery, so this is a big deal.

She seems to be doing all right at the moment, but that was a big scare. I’m not sure what repercussions there may be.

If you feel so inclined, send out a healing thought on her behalf via your chosen benevolent deity. (For monotheists, please be sure to avoid placing any god above yours – we’re told that he seriously dislikes that).
