worst day of my life =(
first we get a call from our RE saying we our not pregnant, our third round of IVF didn't work. Then I get a call after dinner, apparently hospice is saying my grandfather doesn't have much time to live. He has been sick for a while, I wanted to go visit, my mother said he was sleeping. I asked to visit in the morning and she said morning aren't good for her. When I asked her to call me when he's awake so I can talk to him she said he can't talk on the phone?! WTF! I'm so angry! I'm sure she is loving this power she has now. I hope I can see him before he passes. Although I have tried to tell him, he has no idea how much he means to me. He saved my life.
Multiple IVFs=TWINS! Due FEB 5, 2012!!

Screw your mom. Go see your grandfather.
I'm sorry. That really is a sh!tty day. Here's hoping the rest of the year is better for you. Feel free to vent or share here any time. ((((hugs)))))
I'm very sorry
I hope you'll get to see your grandpa soon. I'd also go straight to see him and just ignore your mom.
::hugs::
Easier said than done. It's a looong story, but we were living in a car (my mom had a major drug problem) so my grandfather spent his retirement on a house for us to stay in. My mother was suppose to be getting her act together....that was 20 years ago. My grandfather came to terms with it and realized she never willl so the house is basically hers now.
That's where my grandfather is, not in a hospital. So there is no way for me to get in and I dont want to upset him. I'll just play nice until I get to see him. Even if I have to camp on the porch.
I'm so sorry about all of this. But just to play devil's advocate, not that this is definitely the case, but in the past when hospice has said someone doesn't have very long left, sometimes the person truly can't talk on the phone because of a real medical reason. When they said that about DH's dad he was delirious or in a coma for his last 12 hours. And when they said that about a couple different grandparents, they were too weak to talk or asleep. Granted your mom could be on a power trip, but you just never know.
I would be on your mom's case and try to get there as soon as possible, regardless of the time because you just never know when he might go.

I completely agree with everything you said. With my mom, ya never know what the truth is! I talked to my cousin, she's only 15 but still more credible than my mother...she got to visit him today and said he doess't make sense but does talk. I think he's on pain meds to make him more comfortable. Either way, I will be on top of my mom to let me see him. Turns out he was asking about me yesterday =( hearbreaking
