…and I am very much freaked out by it. I just made a life-or-death decision for someone else who couldn’t make it. The surgeon told me the risk level on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) was 5. There was no choice - it had to be done - but I can’t help but be scared shitless over this.
I know that the rest of my family agrees with this but it is very strange to have to get the call and make the decision.
Sending warm thoughts your way. I hope she makes a full recovery.
hugs I hope everything works out for you
Well done, Parallax. Good luck to grandma.
It’s tough, isn’t it? I have to make all the medical decisions for my 102-year-old grandmother, and it’s really scary. But consider the great honor and trust your family is placing in you to have faith in you to make the best decisions possible! You should feel very good about that.
And I really hope your grandma is okay! Mine, since the age of 95, has been through severe pneumonia and a broken femur, and is going strong, so let’s hope yours does, too!
Thanks for the good thoughts everyone. Unfortunately the doctors are saying she won’t make it through the night. I won’t gross anyone out with the details but they did all they could but things were so bad they couldn’t really fix anything. We’re just waiting now.
I’m terribly sorry, Parallax. I wish you the strength and support of your family to get through this time.
Parallax, I’m very sorry to hear things aren’t going well with your grandmother. Prayers for you both and your family.
You have my sympathies, and my prayers. I hope it all goes well.
My sympathies. I lost my grandmother this past Sunday too. Peace and strength to your family.

Hi all… thanks for the supportiveness. The waiting ended about 2:30am and Grandma passed pretty quietly as she was pretty sedated.
Yesterday was a very long and very surreal day.
Its bad that you have to make a decision like this. 
Oh well, hope everything turns out all right.

You have my sympathy.
Parallax and tanookie, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Losing a loved-one is a deep sadness. I wish you strength and peace in this difficult time.
