My grandma is 93 and definitely slowing down; she gave us a scare about a month ago. She wasn't eating (per my uncle she was refusing foods "like a toddler"), was lightheaded, and fell and hit her head. By some miracle she was totally fine other than a pretty nasty gash on her head. No broken bones, no signs of stroke, no concussion. My mom wondered if maybe she's feeling "done" and is letting go. I agreed and said I get it, but I also don't want her days to be scary and painful and full of ambulance rides.
Now I find out she's going to Mexico at the end of the month to visit family. She's stopped refusing food and is looking forward to her trip.
Keeping us guessing! I joked to my stepdad that she's gonna stress out her children like they did to her and he said "Yeah it's payback for the times we each almost burnt down the house."
