About day 5 after Claire’s stroke.
I’m up and getting ready for work and the phone rings. I can see by the caller ID that it is Suzanne, the mother of Ron, the grandson. I hand the phone to my husband because it’s just too early for me.
Suzanne is hysterical saying that all the family is out to get her and her son Ron. She says he has been nothing but a Godsend for the two old folks and that people are just evil. My husband quizzes her as to what she is talking about. She proceeds to tell him that when she came up to her mother’s room that she heard a nurse talking to someone and she was saying that maybe the grandson was starving her. Suzanne says that they could have only heard a crazy story like that from the other brothers and sisters. My husband listened politely until he could get off the phone and call his other sister Sherry, who is a more reasonable soul.
