My grandmother recovered very well and luckily it was not that serious. Yes she had an appendix but thats not what was making her sick, what made her sick was flu and summer flu is the worst but she was fine now. Doctors check for everything even those you would have not thought of, Gran never mentioned having pains in the abdomen but turns out she did but she just never told us. For a doctor she sure hated Hospitals offwhich i dont even know why. She and I were sitting in her room, she had recovered and her new helper Asekho was starting work tomorrow morning which was Monday.

Me: why do you hate hospitals so much gran?

Her: what makes you think that Hlehle?

Me: because Hlehle you never mentioned anything about having appendix pains

Her: I dont like looking all weak and vulnerable Hlehle

Me: Hlehle you old, you allowed to

Her: not me. I was once a Doctor, I know how to deal with all these things without going there

Me: seee what i mean? You hate hospitals

Her: and you picked all that up from?

Me: you called the hospital "There"

Her: oh, i didnt notice

Me: so why do you hate it?

Her: Having been a doctor for so many years, i've seen too many people die in that place and I dont want to be part of the list

Me: but granny you wont be

Her: Nosihle didnt think she would be part of the list but

Me: There was nothing you could have done to save her Gran. That woman did a number on her

Her: still i feel like i didnt try hard enough Hlehle

Me: Whats done is done Gran and grandma Nosi is at a better place
