Waiting for God

Feeling stressed by the holiday, wishing money spent could be used for a greater good. I hope when the kids are old enough they chose to donate the money spent on gifts for those with less.

Stopped to see grandma at the nursing home. That places sucks the life out of anyone that walks in. The boys were very behaved and entertained her quite nicely. Grandpa was there and it was the first time I've seen him since his car accident. His face is so swollen and bruised it's difficult to talk to him. Now maybe he will stop driving.

It is an absolutely a nightmare situation with him and Grandma. She despirately wants to go home or move to a facility with Grandpa that is accessable to both. This is the second damn Christmas she's spent in that place. I know it's the best around here but it isn't home and grandpa isn't living there with her. He lives around the corner from me but wont ask for any help, won't really allow anyone but my Uncle to do anything. My mom is useless in this situation as he is very belligerent towards her and she just can't tell him anything.

I wonder if getting a mediator or a social worker (any 3rd party) involved would allow Grandpa to see he needs to sell the house and move in with his wife. It's impossible for me to even have a conversation with him, I wouldn't even know where to start. My Grandma is a prisoner in her paralyzed body and it paralyzes her entire existence.

Maybe a long run in the morning will clear my head and help me figure out a solution to this. Someone must advocate and help things move forward. I always think of the show, "Waiting for God...."
