Grandfather's update:
Renal failure, in a post-cancerous, CVAs, and heart-attack(s)y body. He's awake, recognize people yet not-really-there. The family decided to go with the DNR policy. Nobody's too sure if he's in pain. He's clearly in discomfort, but not sure about actual pain. Dad sounds OK, yet disturbed.
Now, my grandfather's also being known as having Lazarusian skills: after all, he's dying professionally since 89'(shit you not). To know that I'll feel better when I'll see him, even with the chance that this time, he will die, actually makes me feel bad. I realized that about 50% of the times I saw him the past 10 years, it was in hospitals. And some of the times I said goodbye.
I really need to do some things. Got statistics to solve, and actually other really fun stuff to read, but I can't really concentrate when I worry to things I shouldn't worry about, yet for some reason, can't help not to.
This is great.
{{{}}} to the Bitches who need them.
I'm sorry, Shir. Much peace~ma to you and your family.
it's "inhumane" to leave her on Memorial Day
Was your mom or someone close to her in the armed forces?
Gah, {{{shir}}} right back atcha. One would hope that he is pumped full of painkillers at this point, yes? My work with hospice care in the US made it seem that medical professionals are all for massive painkiller use in terminal patients, i can only hope that is true everywhere.
Oh Shir-- so much ~ma to you and the family, babe.
erin, I saw that late yesterday and was just freaked. What a horrible situation.
Oh, Shir. Peace to you and your family.
Seriously? I mean ... SERIOUSLY? Social skills?
I wonder whether this type of behavior is ignorance of social skills, or deliberate ignoring of them, taking advantage of other peoples good manners to be tormentingly rude for his own amusement?
I tend to assume the latter in such prolonged situations. Some people are clueless, and some people are just assclowns.
And once again, Teppy, FTW.
Steph! What can you tell me about Shadow Hair? Is it true that Cincinnati is being protected by superheroes?
Is it true that Cincinnati is being protected by superheroes?
Sure, there's also Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, and Big Guy to name a few...
erin, that's a horrible situation. I wish you dispatch situations like on The Unusuals instead.
Feels cooler today. Woot!
