3 weeks ago my 86 year old Grandma collapsed in the street causing massive bruising to her forehead. I discovered this as she left an answer machine message asking me to take her to the docs, unfortunately I wasn't in so didn't get message until the following day.
Rang my mother who had taken her to GP's but did not go in with her. Grandma reported that it was nothing to worry about which my mother accepted. I questioned this and wanted to establish the cause of the fall i.e. TIA or something nasty, Mother said I was over reacting.
Just rang Mum - she let slip that Grandma has had another blackout. 6 days ago! This time losing consciousness for an unknown time. She's been referred to consultant for tests.
When I said you should've told me - my mum said she didn't want to worry me and she was upset enough without having to cope with me getting upset. I think this is completely outrageous and totally unreasonable.
I am extremely close to my Grandma and spend alot of time with her, taking shopping, hospital appts etc. Am I right to be so annoyed? I'm 43 btw so quite capable of dealing with such news.
Anyway I told my mum that I wad very annoyed and cut the phone call short before I totally lost my rag! So who is being unreasonable?
