My grandmother is being a royal pain in the ass about her health. After her mastectomy, she went home from the hospital, received in home nurse visits for about a week and then kicked out the nurses. Then she went to live with my aunt and refused to listen to my aunt on extremely important issues. My aunt: "I think you're developing an infection" Grandma: "You don't know anything".
After being hospitalized for the infection, we convinced my grandmother to stay at a continuing care center for a week. She thought the food was so bad that she demanded to go home. I was at her house when she finally arrived today and I have never seen her more openly pissed in my life. Usually she has passive-aggressiveness down to an art form. Today, it was pure, unadulterated aggressiveness. You would have thought somebody tried to send her to a mental institution or something.
The part I don't understand is this: A month ago and a half ago, she had breast cancer and was going to die. Today, she doesn't have cancer and is doing relatively well--merely dealing with the results of major surgery. How can she be so miserable? Did she have a death wish? Maybe she has a death wish for all of us.
