Up until now my grandparents have all been doing really well- unlike most of my friends I am extremely lucky to still have both of my grandparents at the age of 27.
My gran and grandad have always been the actives ones in there later days, always off traveling in there caravan and playing golf. Unfortunately this dream was shattered after grandad had a severe car crash, killing an old lady and her mother, leaving grandad with a broken back, broken ribs, punctured lungs and a broke wrist. They didn't think he'd make it, after spending 8 weeks in intensive care he made a full recovery within 3 months of his accident and was back home. He couldn't play golf any more and it was a very frustrating time for him do my gran and grandad decided on a new hobby -art was what they went for, they both loved it but grandad still missed his golf. Since then he's been up and down but was doing okay until recently he broke his neck, he can't turn his head due to a metal rod which makes life hard for him. He's had a tough time in addenbrookes, back am forth, halo put on but luckily after all that his neck finally started to heal.
Grandma and grandpa are the farmers, they spent several years in Kenya before returning to england to take over the family farm, which has been int he family for 5 generations- I am the firth family. I love it, it's becoming my life. Up until about a year ago now, grandma and grandpa were still feeding the animals and going down the farm. Dad was helping out here an there and then mum and dad went on holiday for a week- that was were it all begun. I learnt how to be a farmer for the week, clean and feed the animals. Once that week was over I'd only go down here and there, I'd meet grandpa and grandma just do they felt happy knowin I knew what I was doing and so on, what I didn't realise was, was this was going to pretty much change my up coming future. Since then I have pretty much taken up the farm- its still belongs to grandma an grandpa but I now go down twice a day, I now have my own chickens, ducks and have taken on looking after ruby. She is a gorgeous big and Very old. She's a beautiful long horn highland, with huge horns, she's ever so friendly and need s a lot of looking after and I love otX I've most certainly built a bond with her.
Life is just so hard, grandma and grandpa have been so active and now it seems as though grandpa is giving up. He was so up for going to the farm when he wanted too, was up to growing vegetables, off to the bank, and many more, now he can't even do any of that. Grandma has alizmera, she's eating worse by the day. Grandpa can't cope and grandma won't have any strangers in the house to help them.
