Condolences and a question

That's the thing about Irish farmers - you think you've done 'em in, and they wake up saying "I'm not dead yet!" ;) He's not coming back from this one - his lungs are almost completely filled with fluid, his kidneys have shut down, and there are other details I haven't given. Still, he managed to smile and gasp out "thank you" when we got some water into his mouth - and he was even able to swallow a teaspoon. All nutrients have been pulled, and he's on a morphine drip. It's just about time now. However, explicit orders were given, and I'm not going back up today. No matter what happens, I'm not to call the hospital, and nobody is going to call me if his condition changes until tomorrow. I've got a hot date with a pretty redhead... ;) Movie, dinner, then I'm going to teach her a few dance steps. Odoru aho ni miru aho! Onaji aho nara odoranya son son!

Last time in the hospital the doc called the family- told everyone get to the hospital NOW. It was time. The entire family gathered around her bed. Crying, saying goodbye, etc. She was completely nonresponsive. The phone rang and I answered it. It was her best friend. My Mom must've heard me say her name because she croaked "Tell her I'm not dying yet.". Damn if she wasnt right. She's been given the Last Rite so many times I'm sure she will be on the direct bus to Heaven. If and when she ever decides to get on that damn bus. Re: Red. Enjoy. Let if flow. Dance your little heart out.

It didn't seem right to just ask. Alex Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. -- Sophocles (496? - 406 BCE)
