I have some bad news team, my grandma passed away at 4:15 this morning… She had family even for extended visits last night and was lucid and cheery.  She slipped away quietly this morning and at her wishes was DNR and no surgery so it was quick and painless.
Family is getting together at 2:00pm so i’ll let you know what’s happening from there.

Sorry to be boring everyone, it’s been a heck of a week and i’m really grateful that people have been so kind to ask what’s been happening…
There has been an unexpected but great turn of events.  At this moment in time my grandma is awake, lucid and currently recovering in hospital. 
Effectively the downside is that she has a clot, and it will burst eventually.  And when it does she has specifically noted that she doesn’t want surgery, which means we’ll lose her.  The timelines could be 2 minutes or 2 years, though as a heavy precaution we’re keeping her in the hospital for 2-3 weeks until she stabilises, though we’re still taking it one day at a time and i’m enjoying whatever time I can with her.
I’m staying up here to support the family (particularly Dad who’s finding it really tough) and honestly I just need some time out, so still at the hospital but online.
Thanks for all your kind words, I appreciate it a great deal.
AJ

Is not turning out to be great folks..  My grandmother is about to pass away, and I’m currently living/working out of the Royal Brisbane Hospital. 

Currently my flight back home is booked for a weeks time (first thing Monday morning), though I could be back earlier.

As you can imagine I’m not feeling 120% at this time so I apologise if I’m short with anyone or unnecessarily overreact, this month is just not doing me any favours.

Thanks for all your patience guys, I’ll keep you in the loop on progress.
