I just found out that my grandma is in the hospital and that she had gal bladder surgery five days ago. She is 89 years old and she lives with my uncle but he didn't tell anyone. I am so angry with him for not telling me. She just got out of intensive care today. My uncles girlfriend just found out and called me. She is not doing that well, I am so sad. It's too late now to see her. I am going to see her tomorrow.

I am so sorry about this and I do hope that you have now been to see her
I do not think that your Uncle had the right to keep it from everyone you all had the right to know and go and see her
You are in my thoughts and please let us know how she is

Well I am sorry to hear that your grandma is ill, and had to undergo surgury.I would be very angry with your uncle too. He should have told you all that she was in the hospital from the beginning. I am glad that you do know about it now, and will be able to visit with her.I am sure she will understand, that you would have been there had you known. Enjoy your visit with your Dear Grandmother.i hope she recovers well ,and gets to go home very soon. God Bless.

hello,
i am sorry 4 wot u must be passing through.overall, i honestly think your uncle felt its best for you not to know about it.possibly he sees you as one that's so emotional and telling you giving the time might repel you into doing something harmful.however,i think you should give him benefit of doubt.

I would also be angry. what was his reason to not tell anyone, maybe he did not wanna worry u.. Still it is wrong, if she is not doing well then u all have the right to know.
I will keep my fingers crossed that she will be fine!

That was very selfish of your uncle. I hope you make it in time to see her. You said she was out of intensive care so that must mean she is doing better?

I understand your concern why your uncle did not inform family members of your grandma's situation in the hospital. If I were in your shoes, I would not just take it lightly also.
Now having said that, the most important thing for now is that she is already safe. And this is something you and the rest of the family have to thank for. Grandmothers are symbol of a loving and caring past. And they should be cared for and shown such delicate attention.
My grandmother is already 90 plus and though she is already suffereing some ailments, she could still understand well the things around her.

Im so sorry about your GrandMother for her present condition and hope she gets recovered very soon. When you love someone and when you hear that they are in danger and no one helped them out, its natural for you to get anger. Be happy that you know it atleast now and try to help your grandmother from now then. Dont leave her with those who dont care about her. Keep her with you and take care of her. God bless her.

hi there. I am very sorry to hear about your grandma. I would imagine that at her age any surgery would be a serious concern. I, too, would be upset at not being notified. I would also advise you not to jump to conclusions real quick.
Talk to your uncle and give him a chance to explain. Five days does seem like plenty enough time to let everyone know but also it is difficult to call each and every person while in the midst of a crisis. i know that when i have been in such a situation, i have relied on the word getting passed along thru other family members. Try to keep your attitude bright and positive for your gram's sake. It would not do her good to see or even feel tension between you and your uncle at this time. Best of luck to you and your family!

well thats so sad. a few months ago both of my parents was hospitalized [different dates].. i was on training that time when i received the call from my brother that my mom/ was hospitalized. i went home right away. and then after a few week my brother called me again cause my father is hospitalized.
i got so sad the time i received that call. i actually cried while the training was on-going.
dont worry, everything has a reason. just pray and keep your faith. ;)
everything will be fine.

That is sad. I wonder why your uncle didn't tell anyone? Maybe he didn't think it was that big of a deal? I hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Sorry to hear that.You must talk to your uncle first and find out why he do that?As a family,i guess, you have all the right to know what is happening to your grandma.She is old and i hope she will be fine from her surgery...God Bless...

Oh my, I would be upset too. My grandmother passed away a few years ago but even though our family doesn't always get alone we were all notified anytime Grandma was in the hospital for anything.
Praying your Grandmother is better and home soon and that your uncle will let you know if something like this happens again.

She'll be ok, but your uncle will get all the blams.Any doctor does not perform surgery on sick person. She must be strong.I wish her the best.
