Just called Grandma to check on her this morning. She's sounding more tired than yesterday, but still quite alert. Worrying thing is, she told me she was just told that her doctor thinks she's got pneumonia. Again. With the double whammy of her age and uncontrolled diabetes, that's a really big problem.

Both of my uncles did call her yesterday, Mom told me last night. Mom's ready to smack her oldest brother, who was, and I quote, "a real turd on the phone" to Mom, when she told him Grandma was sick again. One of these days, Mom's gonna let fly with all the stuff she's not said to him over the years, and he's gonna be really surprised.

Mom told me that they're switching Grandma to a different kind of insulin, which is why the doses they've got her on now are so much smaller than previous. (That had thrown me, when Grandma told me yesterday.) Before the pneumonia, they thought this was going to stabilize her pretty quick. **crosses fingers**
