I found out that my dad is NOT doing well at all.
My step-mom tried calling me earlier in the week. They have no idea how much longer he really has right now. They have called in hospice. That usually means they are just trying to keep the patient comfortable and pain free, if possible. (my step mom thinks he has less than 6 months.
For those of you that dont know or dont remember, my dad has alyways been really sick (heart trouble, diabetes, seizures due to wrong treatment for a head injury in the 60s) so its no real surprise that this was coming, I just never wanted it top happen obviously.
We are going to go see him when we get back next Sunday. We wont stay long, just for the day (Monday, since we will go to sleep when we get there Sunday, LOOOONG drive)
Anyways I am so scared. I really dont want to lose my dad, although it is inevitable at this point. He is, in his 70s, afterall. I was told that he spent all day today on morphine he was in so much pain. I dont want him in pain. I told my step mom to tell him that we would be there in the next few weeks so he could get “medicine” from his Boo-Boo (Will)…..(will is one of over 20 grandkids and he cant get enough of them )
