2006.06.30: Grandma's stroke

My paternal grandmother, my last surviving grandparent, suffered a stroke at about 2:30am. It was her second stroke. She ruptured a blood vessel deep within her brain and the damage was deemed unoperable by the intensivist who was handling her file. Last I heard she was unconscious and on life support at the University of Alberta Hospital. My uncle from Toronto arrived in Edmonton June 30th at 11pm. The other two siblings were in some way or another "uninterested" in visiting their mother. It would very likely be the last time they get to see her alive . . . in some form or another.
