At around six this morning, the 7th, Grandmother tried to get up, but because she was dizzy, she fell to the floor right next to the bed. She laid there for a half hour before being able to get her bearings and go to the bathroom, where she wanted to go in the first place. This is according to her, by the way.
When I saw her at 10, she was trying to answer the phone. She continued talking into the receiver even though the nurse on the other end of the line hung up many seconds before. Grandmother couldn't speak, and she couldn't walk without assistance. She actually tried talking to me in English rather than Cantonese.
I put her in bed. About 15 minutes later she was up and asking for food. She also wanted to take her pills. After chasing them down with the fruit juice I asked her to drink (for the sugar, just in case she was in diabetic shock again), she started acting normally. She said she forgot to take her medicine last night before bedtime.
She's totally fine now -- coherent and everything. But just in case, I'm blogging about this.
