[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell them that you are unwell and won't be able to be available.  Then just line up some doctor's appointments - cardiologist, GP etc to try and cure yourself and also be busy. [/quote]

+1  This is the answer. Do not make a big scene. Make some doctor's appointments (and plan some other activities). Apologize, and say that you are so, so sorry, but you will not be be to watch your granddaughter for the week because you are having some severe health issues. Then let all of their calls go to voicemail for another week. After that, listen to the voicemails and make some decisions about what you want to do in the future. Perhaps you could invite the girls to spend a weekend at your house every other month or so.[/quote]

I agree.  Do this as soon as possible so they can take off work.  Honestly.  My 19 old is coming home to have her tonsils out in a few weeks and my husband and I will take off work and/or work from home to support him during his recovery.  This is a parent’s job.  You shouldn’t feel the least bit guilty.  And you need a car to pick up prescriptions, go to the ER if there is a complication (bleeding that can’t be controlled at home happens more than rarely).
