Lost My Grandmother Today

My grandmother past away earlier this afternoon. It is hard to believe that only a couple of weeks ago she was doing so much better than she had been for the last few months. She was still in the hospital but she was doing really good in therapy and she was talking about how she felt so much better. She was talking about how she felt like she'd be able to get up and down the stairs at the house without a problem now, and she didn't think she'd need her wheel-chair anymore.

All of that changed in the course of about three days though. She went from feeling wonderful to severe pain. She went to sleep for a couple of days and never woke up again. I personally feel like something happened in the hospital to cause this bad effect that happened overnight. Maybe during therapy or when they were moving her around in the bed or something. I think it may have been too soon for therapy after her surgery a couple of months ago. Anyway, whatever happened it happened fast and unexpectedly. It is a shame, I didn't get to tell her that I loved her or goodbye.
