Update

Well, my visa was granted today, and so this whole experience is feeling more and more real. I am getting so excited! And my grandmother is a little better today, though she is still in hospital, and may be for a while yet. I can't believe how pathetic her medical aid is, though. They only covered her hospital expenses for a few days, and after all the years she and my grandfather paid their fees... Still, she is alright, and that is the most important thing. And my car is still not going, but hopefully will be tomorrow. Hold thumbs...
