Histrionics & Such….

Dear Diary,

 

Tonight was hella crazy. I could feel my heartbeat racing (maybe it was just the latte). My Aquafina flow called me today hysterical near tears. I say "baby calm down. What's the matta!??" She tells me it's her granny, her sweet ole granny. Her momma called n said "sweetie, granny done shitted on herself and she's mumbling some crazy shit". So My Aquafina having the back ground she's had in HHA, immediately begins to recognize the signs of Stroke. See she's seen people die from stroke simply because immediate attention was not given. She's tellin them (her mom n granddad) to call 911.

Grandpa insists he wants someone to come by n clean her up first. So they go thru this shoutin match on the phone about how they need to call 911. Then she calls me, and she's hysterical. I told her to call 911 even if her mom n grandpa were stubborn. She hangs up to call. So as you can gather I'm a nervous wreck coz I don't know what's going on and the whole situation starts to make me think of my own Grandmother who I'll be calling tomorrow coz it's the Unholy hour at night and I know she's asleep.

 

So I stick around in Starbucks waiting to hear from her. I stayed until Starbucks closed. She sends me a text while I'm driving saying they're conducting x-rays but Grandma is still disoriented. I got all kindsa questions flowing thru my mind. Wondering if she's gonna be okay. Is it in fact a stroke? If it is, did they catch it in time? Has TPA been administered? Why are we wasting time on xrays when we should be doing cat scans? Then when I get in the house she calls me and tells me that her grandmother seems to have overdosed on Ambien which would explain the disorientation. Apparently she took 6 Ambien and another prescription Med. So my Aquafina's a nervous wreck, as am I. But I'm relieved that the symptoms weren't that of a stroke. I haven't even had the pleasure of meeting her granny yet and I would love to meet her.
