November 15th:

I am officially a disabled grandma. A nurse will come to my house every 2 weeks to give me care, and my work has been downed to 4 days/week.

I am both relieved and a little shocked. I will have time to sleep and take care of myself. But my medication is still rising. Everytime I see my doc she prescribes a new med to add to the pile I’m taking. She says we gotta get this arthritis under control, and that my case is quite severe. It’s a little disheartening. I try not to let it get to me too much, but today I felt pretty down because of it.

So I decided to roll with it. If I gotta be a grandma, I’ll be a cool grandma. Being 30 and on Tumblr, I hereby declare myself the Spoonie Granny of everyone who wants/needs a grandma. I’ll bake you pie to comfort you and make you laugh with tales of my youth.
