Update on my Nan

I went to see my Nan straight from work today. The news from yesterday is that following the pneumonia, they have now discovered she has a heart condition after drawing clear fluid out of her chest. At this stage I have no idea what the condition is called and what the prospect is for the future. She looks very weak and frail; although she is tall, there is nothing of her. She's still on nebulizers 4 times a day, anti biotics and pills for her breathing. She hadn't been on her feet for 8 days but tonight she did manage to get to the loo with the aid of a zimmer frame and a nurse. At least that's a slight improvement. It was mentioned before that she may be sent home Friday but I can't see how she's gonna be strong enough. She's better off in hospital, although it's such a depressing place. At this stage, we're waiting to hear about whether she's been accepted for the flat at the sheltered accommodation, not far from where she currently lives in Rochford.
The hospital staff now have to call her "Sheffield Steel" as that's where she's from originally and for the fact that she asked them to perform a nasty procedure on her without local anaesthetic. "NO" she said "Just do it"! Now I know where I get it from!
