Don't you hate it when multiple family members wind in the hospital within weeks of each other?

2 weeks ago my dad had a heart attack, now my grandmother’s in the hospital for various reasons… This sucks!

“Sucks” doesn’t quite cover it. I am sorry to hear about both your dad and grandmother. May they both mend and live long and prosper. Probably tougher for your grandma to put up a strong fight, but you never know. Most people today recover from heart attacks and, if they behave themselves (eat well, exercise, stop smoking ,etc) can survive for decades.

When it rains ti pours…

Yes, this happen in my family ALL the time.

My grandfather had a heart attack one month, then the next, my grandma was rushed for the same and passed.

Recently, my aunt was in the hospital, and ALL of my family was ill with a virus.

My thoughts are with you, Nina!

I can really feel your pain. It is very stressful. Remember to take care of yourself while rushing around to visit and help.

On Christmas Eve, My mom fell and was hospitalized. Then on Christmas Day my brother went in with chest pains.

Hi Nina!

We went through that several times with my mom and dad, then more recently with my mom and my sister’s baby. I remember one day of visiting Mom on the fifth floor than my sister’s kid on the 4th floor…it does suck.

I guess I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t hate it. Are you suggesting there are people who would like it?

I just had dental surgery and I’m kind of laid up, my mom has cancer and went in for a scan today to see if they could even do surgery at all because one of the spots got bigger, I feel ya.

I don’t understand why a question has to be problematic when it’s already been answered several times. You’re focusing more on the format of the question than the content or the answers above yours.

Just a passing comment.
