Well, things WERE going better

*sigh* You think things are looking up, and then, WHAM. Something you didn't expect throws you for a loop.

Well, the weekend started off well; I had summer hours at work (although I didn't get to leave at noon like usual, since I had work to do, but I still got to leave at 2:30) and then I came home and read Harry Potter as I sunbathed by our pool. Dan and I just hung out that night and watched some TV, and on Saturday we got up, cleaned up a little, ran some errands, and then went to see my grandparents.

They seemed to be doing quite well, which is good. We stayed there for about an hour, then went and got some dinner at Applebees. We then went to see Get Smart, which was HILARIOUS. I was literally laughing out loud through most of the movie. Definitely a must-see!

Then on Sunday, we did some more stuff around the house, and I FINISHED the Harry Potter series! It was amazing; now I want to read the whole series again! (And I can't wait until the movies come out....)

Anyway, so things seemed to be looking up for us. Today, however, I got a call from my mom, and she was (understandably) upset. It turns out that the nursing home where my grandparents are recuperating gave my grandma both her medicine AND my grandpa's! What the hell??? He's on morphine, some heart-regulating medicine, and some other stuff. Stuff she should obviously NOT take, since it's prescribed for my grandpa! I mean, what, just because they have the same last name, they don't check the first name?

Anyway, the first six hours were critical; they kept a very close eye on her, had the ER on standby, etc. Luckily, she seemed to pull through with no ill effects (when we went to visit her and my grandpa tonight, she was weak, but other than that, seemed fine). But what a scary six hours!!! *sigh* So just when you think nothing else could possibly happen, it does. I can't wait until they're recovered and back in their own home!
