Let me first give you guys a little detail of my Grandmother. She was born somewhere up in North Korea. She is currently 4'11".. i think or even smaller. (My family loves to make fun of my grandmother’s height. So my mom is 5'5" and my dad is 5'11". I'm 5'9" and my sister is 5'0". My dad sides of the family are over 6'0" and my mother side consists of people around her height. So when people ask us why we are short, we blame my grandmother for giving us the "shortness" gene. Anyways~) she is 83 years old and lives by herself in a nursing home, but it’s like an apartment without the frequent interruptions by the nurse.
My grandmother has slipped and fractured her hip and something else with her right leg. She has a tough time walking around so she needs someone to assist her in going to the bathroom. She can swing her knees back and forth however when it comes to raising her thighs, she feel a quick cramping sensation.
Sunday evening, is when this incident happened. She was making bread and apparently there was some puddle that she overlooked and slipped on it. No one would have known about this situation if my sister didn’t call her. We went to a nearby hospital Einstein hospital. This hospital is literally few blocks from where my grandmother lives. Every night my sister, my mom, my two aunts, and I would stay and look after her. We would translate and also help her go to the bathroom. Well~ she can’t walk to the bathroom so we have a commote next to her bed.
Every day so far has been an adventure hanging out with my grandma Lee in the hospital. Either something interesting or funny things happen.
