Life and Stress
Well...to top all of that off, Roger's grandmother is having some major health issues. When I first met Roger, his GM was battling breast cancer. She went through all the treatments, and actually got it into remission. Now she is having major heart issues...her heart is beating up to 120+ beats per minute when a normal average is 60 or so. She's been dealing with extremely low blood pressure, despite any meds they put her on, and what her heart is doing, is beating 2 beats instead of one to try to even out her blood pressure. That is causing her heart to become extremely weak. Basically, her heart is beating like she is in constant excercise...her doctor is so worried about her heart being so weak that she went in this morning to have a defibulator put in her chest. This is all worrying Roger to death, but being the boy that he is, he won't release that worry or even the fear he's feeling about the possibility of her not making it through all of this. I love him so much, and his grandparents are the only thing I can relate to as family for him in place of parents...I don't know how many of you know that he doesnt' have parents. Both were murdered, his mother at age 2 and is father before he graduated high school. So I care deeply for his grandparents as if they are my own, and it is really hard for me right now. I've only lost one of my own, my Opa, but I was too young to really remember. So I'm having to shoulder the fear and worry for both myself and Roger and it's just been really stressful for and hard on me.
