*Update* on my Dad

Last edited Thu Nov 19, 2020, 07:40 PM - Edit history (2)

I have been wanting to post an update for several days, but there has been nothing good to report.

He has developed pneumonia and his O2 is real low on 8L of Oxygen via a mask.

Today they are administering steroids and palliative care. That is all they can do. He has refused intubation/vent.

So this is it. thank you fucking trump and his fuck face followers.

Edited in: I can't thank everyone separately. I will be gone for a few days. So thank you all for the heart felt sentiments. They mean a lot.

Don't worry, when I come back (as my Mom always said to me) I will be full of piss and vinegar.

As you journey through this awful time. Peace to your Dad.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Oh no....

I am so so sorry buddy.

Me and my sisters went through that with our mom (several years before covid) and had her moved to a hospice after about a week in the hospital. The palliative care lasted about 3 days and was over.

Sending all my thoughts to you in this difficult time.

[Hekate]

13. I'm so sorry

Thanks for letting us know.

[renate]

14. my heartfelt sympathy

To be worried, grieving, sad, helpless... that's painful enough.

But for that to be mixed with entirely justified and righteous anger makes it even worse. I'm so, so sorry. This didn't have to happen and I am absolutely furious for what you and your family have to endure.

[rustysgurl]

15. I am so sorry

To feel helpless, and at the same time, anger, must be draining.

Take care of yourself.

22. I am so sorry to hear about this. Trump's killing us on purpose and continuing it just to ...

... trip up Joe. There just are no words to civilly describe what he's done to your family, let alone millions of the rest of the nation.

You and yours are on our minds.

23. Palliative care

Have you considered contact a hospice organization ? They specialize in palliative care and can often help you with all that you are going thru too. Please feel free to PM me.
Peace,
an ol' hospice volunteer

Very trying, difficult and sad times.

Just a reminder to take care of you during this sad, stressful time. You cannot take care of others if you do not take care of you first. You have many people who care and will send you virtual and well wishes. Looking forward to your return.
