<human>: Background: We've been dating for about 3 years now. We are currently sort of long distance because of her job and my schooling, but it's not too far - about an hour by train. 

Recently, my maternal grandma was stricken by a stroke, and she is currently in the ICU. My mom is besides herself right now. I'm trying to get a grip on things myself, but since my grandma was admitted, I've been on edge myself, for both any changes in her condition and worrying about my own state of health. Granted, I'm working on it as we speak - I've been running 5K every other day since the beginning of the month and MyFitnessPal is my newest obsession, but I'm still overweight and it's only been a month since I quit smoking and I'm still 20+ pounds overweight. 

The day my grandma was admitted, I had a long chat with my girlfriend relating some of my anxieties, and with her humor and wit, she took it all in and made me feel better. Now that these worries don't seem like they've subsided, it's like I really want to talk to her again, but I don't want to come across as needy or clingy and she has her own busy schedule to deal with. Can anyone advise?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
