FME erk Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Going thro a very similar thing right now. My youngest sister has been a real pain in the backside making demands and all kinda stupid suggestions. The solicitor will sort things out . . . . I am thinking of your parents, my father went to ICU some years ago and my mom died a year this November. I hope they can be as comfortable as humanly possible.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 30, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted September 30, 2019 Update, folks. Mom’s cognitive ability measures at 7 out of 100. Other than that, she’s doing well. Dad’s a bit better, but nowhere near ideal. His CO2 levels are down, but he’s stopped fighting the BiPAP mask after some adjustments to pressure. My brother is quite uptight because he isn’t being consulted despite living with them full time. As the eldest, I have the dubious honor of being Power of Attorney, besides, his autism may disqualify him, I dunno. But on Friday we took my best friend to Emergency. Pain si liar to a kidney stone a 9 out of 10 ad could barely function. A CAT scan found a huge aneurism in his aorta, adjacent to his kidneys. It had leaked previously and he was immediately sedated, drugged up, and stabilized. Restorative surgery tomorrow morning. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Talk about things just piling on. Hope things go well for your uncle. I was in the car with my dad last week and I'm really starting to think he needs to look at giving up his license. Which he won't without a fight. Carl Edit: just saw your post. My condolences to you and your family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 1, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 1, 2019 It’s all good guys. I’m fine as is Joy. Y’all are like extended family, so I put it here. I’ve been lucky enough to have very little death in my family, so I was there for others. Now all the bad comes at once. I’m well into my fifties, so it’s time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Jeepers Ernie!! This is hectic. I wanted to share the story of my brother with you, but will rather not. Just know I share in your pain. Condolences. One thinks family/siblings will be there for you , but they can be the most underhanded fahrktwarts out there, back stabbing coniving SOB's. My dad passed 16 years ago, and I have not seen or spoken to my siblings since. I am actually fuming right now. So sorry buddy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
