Mom's update on Grandma:
Tried to call but you were out. Grandma has a huge stomach ulcer, which they biopsy'd but found cancer free, ulcerated esophagus, a diseased lung and pneumonia. There's a name for her lung disease but don't remember what it is, guess it's not all that uncommon in the elderly. They're going to do a couple of breathing tests with her tomorrow morning, but she may go home later in the day. She was told she should use oxygen when walking any distance, like to her lunchroom or exercise class, but knowing Grandma she won't. The only problem if she doesn't use it is that she could get dizzy and lose her balance. Of course a fall could break something, but she's stubborn enough not to use the oxygen anyway.
Have a good week. Luv ya's
