Growing Old Gracefully, or just Growing Old?

Just settling down to a quiet meal, and glass of lager... Man what I would do for a decent glass of European small pub beer! Looking forward to the next couple of months. Work is going quite well, but I really need to sort out my grandparents! They are somewhere between eternal hate or eternal love for each other. I think the one thing that keeps each of them going is the constant bickering. I've not known a day in my 27 collective, recallable years when they have not been bickering in some way, shape or form... Lately it's been getting worse. Mainly due to my grandmother's Parkinsons disease. She's the center of many of my grandfather's world and he loves her wholeheartedly. But she's also stubborn as a mule and set in her ways, just like the old man. Lately she's become more and more unable to do the basics of walking around and surviving. It's very painful to watch. As of late, with my grandfather in the hospital for his new knee replacement and her here at home with me, I don't know which is going to drive me crazy first. Her constant self-deprication or her constant attempts to argue with me... I love her, but some times she gets so difficult and my patience just runs thin. I really do need to remember all that she has done for me in my life. And also, that it's mainly the drugs talking. /o:

Questions, comments? You know where you can reach me to tell me just how off my rocker I am.
