It is very important that we all remain as healthy as we can. Do all the things that you know to do so that we can be healthy. We assume that if we get sick that the doctors or hospitals are going to do everything that they can to make us better. This is not always the case.

When one is sick the first thing that they have to do is take a look at what they are doing. Especially, what one is eating. My grandmother has been sick since February of 2008 and she is now sick again. She has diabetes and congestive heart failure. My mom went to Ohio to take care of her. She had completely changed her diet. She was cooking her meals and helping her get some exercise by having her do a little walking everyday. She was getting better. She took care of my grandmother for 2 months. She had asked my grandmother did she want to come to Michigan and stay with her. She said, "No". My mom returned home.

Since, my mom left my grandmother has been in and out of the hospital. She is now back in the hospital and my mom is back in Ohio. She wasn't doing to good and she had a small stroke. My mom was visiting with my grandmother and guess what she was drinking. Pop. Can you believe that? My mom said,"Mom you don't need to be drinking that?" That's like giving a cancer patient a cigarette. You would think the hospital would know how to feed people when they are sick. It's probably not on their priority list. My grandmother has been in and out of the hospital and the rehabilitation center. Last year I went to Ohio with my mom and sisters and we visited her at the rehabilitation center. The food they were feeding her was horrible. If you are sick no way should you be eating that kind of food. Fish sticks and a potatoe salad sandwich. Who has even heard of that?

I really do believe that it is not the agenda of the health care system to make us healthy. With all the technology they have and all the studying they have done on the body they should know by now what is healthy and what is not. No one wants to be on medication for the rest of their lives. (Well, they shouldn't want to be).

I really hope that my grandmother will get better and I do hope that she will come and stay with my mom because, that would be much better for her. My mom will defintitely take good care of her.
