My great grandma is awesome

My mom regularly goes to visit her at the hospital. She's there since ever she got hurt as she can't really take care of herself and the old age home is full. Other then that she's fairly healthy.

Anyway my mom mentioned how today it's the Stanley Cup game. My great grandma corrected her saying it's the Super bowl. That's just so awesome, that even a grandma in her late 80's knows about the Superbowl, and the fact that my mom screwed up and got corrected by her. Just awesome.
 
So does this mean she is sane enough to know against changing her will so she leaves everything to you? 🙁
 
Jeez.. You still have a great grandma? All my great-somethings are dead except for one great grandma and she is well over 90. (She's basically a thing in a chair and can't really talk or anything)

My great grandmom is still alive and she's 100 and gets around just fine. We just had a party for her 100th bday. She is in better shape than my 75 y/o grandmom.
 
Before my grandma's accident she would actually go to the mall every day. She's also proof that eating healthy is not the main factor of life span. She does not really eat all that well, but has lived all these years. I mean now she has some medical problems but nothing that is actively killing her. She loves to go out. If something would kill her it would be her being stuck in the old age home. She's actually better off that the hospital right now, and she has lot of friends there as well as family visits. I might actually end up working there in the next month or so, so I'll be going to see her more often as well.

I still find it funny she corrected my mom about the Superbowl. My mom is that ignorant when it comes to sports though, to call it the Stanley Cup game lol.

That's saying a lot more than mine. Both my families have a history of very bad illnesses that set in later in life. 🙁

My Great Grandma passed away a few years ago at a 101. She died 4 months after my Great Grandpa died (DDay invasion (Tank gunner) vet). They were married almost 80 years. Funny how it was almost like they kept each other going, when one passed the other passed soon after.
 
Both my grandfathers were killed in WW2. Only have one grandparent remaining....god knows about my great grandparents. They're well dead. I don't even know when they died - decades ago I presume.

I'm only 29 btw. Not some old fart like my post makes me out to be

My great grandma was full of piss and vinegar to the end, but in a humorous way. She was never nasty to anyone. She told me a few things about life that were right on the money. I miss her wisdom and but mainly I miss her.
 
when my great grandmother was 98, she had to go to the hospital and was told she had to stay there overnight. apparently she didn't like the idea, and when she had a chance she bolted from the wheelchair they had her in, punched down a nurse, pushed a second one down, and a third nurse tackled her. everyone in my family appears younger than they actually are, and tend to live pretty long as well. currently my grandmother is almost 99, and still goes about on her own.

lol thats kind of funny.

It's like someone I know, he played hockey and was in like his 70's, he's still alive today, I think it's almost 90. He got hit bad in the face with a puck once, so he went to the ER. They thought he fell and was just going crazy making up stories, but no, he actually did get hit by a puck while playing hockey, at 70 lol. He played again after that. He has some interesting WW2 stories too, he was an electrical engineer. In fact he wired up the main feed for our stage lighting system at the church lol.

Always nice to see old people still kicking and putting an effort to life though.
