if there is anything in here that doesn't relate to this story or seems like I've already told you its because this is what I just typed up to my friend just now...so yeah.

well my grandpa got his leg amputated on thurs. so on wed. we all went up to see him before his surgery. Leah came too. but she was mean about everything...she wouldn't spend the night at our house either. and so we all went home. mom went up there to be w/ my aunt anita on thurs. dad had a turnament and ethan was working with him. so I was alone babysitting my cousin allison and doing this long list of chores for mom for money. and so after she left I was just exhausted. *as you know, i don't sleep...insomnia's been back* and so I fell asleep. dad and ethan came home around 11 and so I had to quickly pack 'cause we were going to muncie to spend the night. leah didn't go, and mom was already up there. so we got there and spent literally all day just sitting in the hospital. and so aunt anita got a call and she had to baby sit my second cousin *her grandaughter* but she was going to be in the hospital because gpa wasn't recovering from everything like he should have been. his heart rate was really low, his leg (what was left of it) wasn't "pinking up", it was black, and he wasn't coming out of it...he was all groggy from the drugs and he couldn't do anything and wouldn't remember anything that had happened since the surgeory. so he was out of it...just mumbling. since my aunt needed a babysitter I had to spend another night there to help my cousin april babysit *she's 27 and they forgot that she could babysit but my parents had already left me there* and when we were still at the hospital on Fri. I was with my aunt and I was holding gpa's hand and my aunt was giving him lotion...then she realized his hand was all swollen and it was limp...she's a nurse so she knew what had happened...he had had a stroke and lost feeling of his right side. and since he didn't have his left leg, he only had his head and his left arm...well my aunt panicked and cried and got the nurses and doctors. well called everyone to come up. Leah didn't wanna come up but april cussed her out over the phone so she came. well leah decided she was going to stay with a friend of her bf's (he's in college and his campus was three minutes away* so she gives me a note to give to mom and dad and after arguing I wasn't going to give them the note and she would have to tell them herself. so I was in tears and seeing my grandpa in so much pain didn't help either. anyway practically the whole familly came up *we have a huge family so the room and the lounge was full* and so we spent the night at aunt anita's and leah was off with her bf...I don't think she was with a family...and me and april highly doubt she's a virgin anymore. *and she's screwed herself over twice and probably won't make it into college now* dad had to go home for another tournament and so mom and i were stuck in muncie and he didn't get back till real late so we spent the night *again* so I haven't been home all fall break and I pretty much got cheated out of my weekend. and the emotional and mental stress is really building up
