” But my granny’s parents and parents’ parents all had dementia, and when my great-grandparents got it, I remember her being like, “Oh God, don’t let me live through this. She’s still alive.” What we think happened is the hospice nurse got the wrong information from the nurses that worked there - and the hospice lady was of course beside herself: “I’m so sorry, oh my God. She’s probably still alive there somewhere.” She’s like, “Nope, pretty sure.” So she makes arrangements and sends the coroner out, and maybe five hours later, she says, “You were right. I was like, “Are you sure, Mom? She’s so tough. Nobody was allowed in, so my mom would get calls from the hospice, and a hospice nurse told her Granny had passed away. She’s immortal!” We knew she’d been in the hospital with covid - she was the first person in her clinic who got it. We try to laugh about things that are hard in my family, and we always had this joke that she was immortal: She would fall, and they would be like, “She’s not gonna make it through ,” so my mom would sit with her overnight, and then the next day she would wake up and be like, “Well, why are you here? I’m ready for breakfast.” Just over and over. A: She was in a memory care clinic she had dementia.
