There is a really sweet old lady at my church. She has always been sweet to me and the kidlets and she was so excited for me all through my pregnancy, loves the pudding pop, etc. Thus, I love her. But she's in the hospital. She had some issue with her hip and now she has pneumonia. I tried to visit her today but she looked like she was sleeping plus I get easily squicked out in hospitals and nursing homes anyway and I'm shy. YES, I'M SHY! Ish. I'm a gemini, yo so while I have no qualms about bursting in on yarn convos in Joanns, I have issues in places where I feel awkward like the special care unit of the hospital.
I'm going to try again tomorrow and resolve not to be a wuss.
I think that is kind of you to go visit her. I bet she is lonely. I am shy in hospitals too. I feel like I don't belong. I'm rarely in the hospital so it always feels foreign.

Oh, that's sad. I get the same way in hospitals.
I think going to visit was the right thing to do, but not disturbing her sleep was nicer. Let her get her rest so that she can recuperate and visit her another time. You're so sweet to do this for her!

Being her a card or something else you can leave behind for her in case she just went to sleep five minutes before you get there. Maybe a cozy pair of slippers as a get well gift.

I think that's sweet of you. Tell the nurses you're the granddaughter and you'll get in. And for reading material, can I suggest the National Enquirer?
