Just a Self-Important Update

[Shakeydave]

My father is doing better on a daily basis. The long term prognosis is still no good, but he is alert and beginning to become stronger. My brother has him at his house during the week and then I spell him there on weekends. It has been a humbling experience for me, period. One thing to all of you, if you have a "Living Will", that is not enough. You must communicate your wishes to anybody who may be a first responder to a hospitals inquiry. Oh, and one other thing, "F" the pharmaceutical industry, a single shot to stimulate his white blood cells costs $2,500.00 US. Again, thank you to all of you for your kind words and thoughts. You've made it much easier for me!
