I don't know what to do

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know why but I feel worried right now because my stepmum had messaged me about meeting her and dad around my sisters tomorrow and I won't be able to because of work and thinking it'll be about my grandad who has been in hospital and I did find out that my grandad had a collapsed lung and that there is a possibility he has stomach cancer which may have possibly spread not just to his lung and stomach but even his brain. But I don't know as yet if these things are all connected.

They want me to see them round my sisters at 1pm tomorrow but I have to go in to work tomorrow at quarter to 12. I'm just worried it might be news I don't want to hear. Again I don't know though if he officially does have cancer as I think has had to have tests I think. I keep thinking I'm just avoiding to face reality. I am still find it hard to grasp the fact that a few weeks ago I saw my grandad and he seemed fine as always and now he is in hospital for something which maybe is serious. I keep thinking it something that can't be got rid off and that doctors feel its very risky to use certain types of treatment for people of my grandad's age. My grandad is nearly always someone who thinks that if he feel's unwell or something that there was no need to get it checked out and that it will run its course and get better soon and he's probably inherited that ''stiff-upper lip'' and ''keep calm and carry on'' sort of mindset that maybe his parents had.

If you have to go to work, tell them you have to go to work and can't be there as you can't risk your job for skipping work. My spidey senses tell me it's bad news they want to break in person.. people don't tend to request a gathering at a time like this to tell everyone everything is fine and not to worry. At least you're prepared for the inevitable bad news.

As for your grandfather's ailing health, all you can do is accept whatever news there is. You can't change it. He's old, old people get sick - and eventually, whether soon or not, they die. I know - loooooots of older people have been dying around me lately. Is what it is. No sense in worrying yourself sick over it. When his/their time comes, it comes. Simple as that.

At least they all got to live relatively long lives.. double or longer what people would have lived to 150-200 years ago.. long enough to have their bodies wear out and be susceptible to cancer vs. long since dead from an infection or work accident. Modern medicine has extended our lives Big Time.. but still, it never seems like enough time and their time has come too soon - whether at 70 or 99. But whenever their time is, it is, and that's that.
