Yesterday evening (around 10 pm) she called me! (If you don't know who she is, I mean my mother.) She informed me that my granny is still in the hospital and won't be returning home if she doesn't start to feel better. They have started to look for a home (for old people) for her. It would need to be a place where she would have a bit more space for herself and help around when needed. Not like those places where she needs to just lay in bed and wait for someone to come around to turn her over.
We also talked about that she is not able to come over to see my granny yet as she needs to be working for 3 weeks (small company and one employee is on vacation and other broke her leg). She had planned to come, but now can't. Someone needs to cut the grass in granny's home. My uncle hadn't done it, even though he was the last person to be there.
I also informed her about my illness and that my hearing is okey (oh, yeah I think I forgot to mention that! The hearing test showed Normal on both ears) and also discussed about my brother and his new home. So basically we went over all the things that has happened to her children that she doesn't know about and about her mother. She also gave me some money. She did offer at first, but I said "I won't turn money down, but I will be okey without any extra. My bills have been paid, so any extra bills that come are for leisure that I should handle by myself." So basically I gave her the choice.
My motto is that I don't ask for money, but I don't say no either if someone offers. I have been begging for money from relatives so many times when I was a kid, that I've had enough. I think that she called me because she couldn't call my sister (long story) and I think she gave me money because I answered and talked with her for almost an hour. I am not sure if this is the first or second time this year that we talk...
