What's the matter?

My grandmother made it through surgery. They discovered a couple other health issues while she was under, but she made it. Apparently one of her heart valves is about half the size it should be. That's why she's been having chest pains. I don't think the doctors will be able to do anything about it, though. She was absurdly "high risk" for this oral surgery. I can't imagine the dangers for this one.

My aunt and I cleaned my grandmother's house for 9 hours. :eek: I was utterly exhausted when I got home. We cleaned and waxed the floors. My aunt has a tile cleaning vacuum. It's really awesome. I want one! We also scrubbed the cabinets, cleaned out the refrigerator (that was scary), cleaned and vacuumed the living room, fixed the dishwasher and replaced the faucet and garbage disposal. We didn't move anything major or throw anything away, other than expired food, so I hope my Gma isn't upset with us. I wouldn't want someone going through my house, cleaning and throwing away as they please. We just wanted to make things a bit easier for her. One of the other things they found out at the hospital is that she has a lung infection caused by MSRA. We don't know where she got it or how long she's had it. It could be from her house, in which case we are going to have to scrub that mofo from top to bottom. But she could have gotten it at the hospital as well. There's a tiny, neurotic part of me that worries that I might have caught it cleaning her house. But my mom, ever the RN, says that most people have it in them, but it's just lying dormant, waiting for your body to become compromised so it can show itself.

Anyway, I see my doctor later today. I'm going to tell her about the paranoid thoughts I have and the general paranoia I've experienced in the past. I've mentioned it several times before, but I don't think I've stressed the severity of it. I've been on the same meds for 6ish months now and I feel like it isn't hitting the spot. (That's what she said.) It took my mother 10 effing years to find the right medicine combination. I hope to find it a lot sooner.

Glad to hear your grandmother is fine. Sounds like a massive job! Good on you for getting through it. :)

I hope everything is okay regarding the paranoid thoughts.

I feel so immensely disconnected from everyone I know (with one exception). I love my online friends and I think they are awesome, but I wish my real life "friends" cared too. Even my sisters are so wrapped up in themselves that it's hard to talk to them anymore. It doesn't seem like anyone cares. I recently wrote a blog about how I've been suffering from depression all winter and I'm just now fighting my way out of it. The only response I got from anyone was a nice email from my mom. You would think that people who pretend to care about me would at least say something about it.
I also feel like I'm whining for no good reason. But I'm not asking to be showered with attention for every little thing I say or do, I just feel like I've been abandoned by the few select people who are supposed to care. I have no real life support system.
