Was down at the cafe to catch up with my closest mates today, not seen in a month or so. He tells me his Dad's back in hospital, been there all week (so not good), then he tells me the doctors have told him that he's got maximum of a week left to live. He described further that at one point in the week they'd decided to stop giving him fluids and drugs and leave him to go out on morphine. It was over-ruled very late, so now he's on some IV fluids + injections of morphine every 4 hours, but is getting secondary doses every hour. Due to the way he is they can't let him self-administer as he'll do his heart in.

This has all come out of no-where, 6 months ago he was fighting fit as a fiddle. 3 months ago he had a bit of a scare in hospital, but had recovered to the point he was at home on no drugs at all. Now back in again and they're getting ready to pull the plug, within a week of christmas.

The 3 brothers are 22-39, with the father in his mid/late 60's. SO unexpected. Nothing that can be said to/for that.

2-3 hours later and I'm still mild shock. Life huh?!

That's horrible Wade, my own father died in much the same way. From strong as an ox to dead in the space of a couple of months. You just never know mate.

My trusty dog is too smart for her own good. She bypassed my wife's security system and ate Christmas Eve dinner. 5 raw game hens.

Typing this from the vets office where they are making her puke it all up.

Straight out of the movies.

Hope your doge's alright, fucking horrible situation all round!

Been there. Ours ate a rawhide that got stuck and they had to give her some kind of liquid that would dissolve it. Only side effect, exorcism shit type throw up. It was crazy!

So far so good. I was stressing it all night, but this mutt must have a stomach of steel.

Somehow I managed to misplace not one, but two sets of leather boot laces.  Dammit.

I love winter and I love snow, but I've just been told the 20 or so inches accumulated in MI over the last day will likely impact my flight home in one way or another.  Feck…

To close this out, he died on Boxing Day with his entire family by his side. Far too young @ 61, but it could have happened in worse circumstances.

Shit, sorry Snowy…..

[Snowy]

I'd been waiting for the call since the 22nd. Still floating in/out of a daze about it nearly a week later. Very little positives to be found, but having family there for the end is really all that counts.
