Ode to Grandma: SHOCK THEM ALL!!!

Scrubs in the Trenches

This is the story of my Grandmother, Thelma Louise Smith, and how her Ending snuck up on me and my family. In the previous episode I told you about her husband and how he hung around in a land I call Pillgatory so now I'd like to share how I was able to help coordinate getting her out of the hospital so she could pass peacefully as possible at her home surrounded by loved ones.
Louise was a librarian and was definitely my "fun" grandparent. She helped formed my sense of humor and took me on cross country motorhome trips. She was a church going Methodist that loved her some X-Files and wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind.
She got a bad cold during February of 2022 and developed into pneumonia that landed her intubated in the hospital. She was a DNR and had some words to say when she was extubated but was glad to not be dead at the same time.
She began to decline again and I felt the need to go to the hospital to assess the situation with my own ICU eyes. I then tell how I was able to suggest the proper non invasive treatment to tank her up enough to allow her to make it safely home to be set up on Home Hospice.
It wasn't easy but I poured every ounce of medical knowledge and called on the advice of other medical professionals to formulate a plan to do what was right by my Grandmother!
Also listen to the post credit scene to hear about how my grandmother wanted me to dose her and Papa up with so much morphine that they could go in each others arms like in The Notebook... Spoiler Alert, I Didn't...
