Tab a, B, c, defghij, and maybe P, into slots A, b, c, and depending on size of the tab, d, e or even f.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. If I could gone back to change anything about my mothers last days, I would have made sure she didnt have to die in the hospital.

I probably wont feel anything once he finally goes. I dont feel much now. And I didnt feel anything about my mother but annoyance about her passive suicide. But her actual death has never affected me.

Not to dismiss how you feel, at all. Just kind of rambling.

A lot of people wish they had more time, and thats totally understandable.

Ill see what I can find.

My main car has a known issue with the speedometer. Basically once the engine bay heats up to a certain point, the speedo and odo both stop working, but thats it. In the summer its pretty much always, but the winter as long as its a cold day and I dont idle, itll work just fine.

Theres a handful of ways to fix a Speedo, and so everyone wants to do that. The speed sensors (replaced twice), instrument panel (replaced once), and some other things.

But its a thermal issue, which is known, that theres a problem with the wiring harness. There are work arounds, but its expensive to fix, and most places want to do everything but that and ignore the thermal issue.

Why are those two things diametrically opposed?

Hes saying I should buy him Duck Tales comics for Christmas. >_>

I guess it wouldnt possible for you or someone else to administer immunotherapy at home through an IV?

I kind of doubt it. Im not really equipped to do that... but regardless of that, coming home isnt viable for other reasons. I cant keep him clean, and hell end up with an infection again in no time.

My wife eats cottage cheese and ketchup.

After 21 years, most of our other ones are gone.

Im a pretty picky eater. I dont do tomato chunks in most things, Ill blend my salsa to a smoother consistency sometimes. I used to never eat lettuce but Ive gotten better about salads. But not on tacos or burgers.

My wife when I met her didnt know how to eat. She would only eat well done steaks and burgers. Fully cooked eggs. Things like that.

I had to each her how to actually eat. One time when we lived with her family, her grandma made hamburgers... which where burnt to fuck, left to go cold, and then served.

Her mother considered herself a good/great cook... one time she made linguini with ketchup.

No spices. No seasonings. Linguini and ketchup.

I closed the previous topic just because were kind of entering another chapter.

Quick recap:

He had cancer from around 2019, or earlier, but Covid shutting down everything he didnt get diagnosed until late 2020/early 2021. He did radiation and chemo treatments. Theres questions as to how well he held his regimen, or completed it. He did not do any follow up appointments.

Thanksgiving father becomes ill, mostly bedridden, and incontinent. Refuses medical help, and ambulance.

Early January he finally asks to go to the VA. He has an infection affecting his gut bacteria and is put on antibiotics.

He starts becoming more lucid.

They do a CT scan on the pelvis where his cancer was. Its still there, has shrunk, but has also moved to the lymph nodes.

The doctors have gotten under my skin with their approach, basically shotgunning information at him prematurely, such as if he would even be amenable to further cancer treatments, only to find out hes not eligible anyway.

So today there was whats called a Cares Conference between three doctors, the head of his care, the head of medicine, and palliative doctor to decide what course we would want to take:

Cancer treatments: chemo and radiation are out of the question in his current state. They would be too hard on him. A third immunotherapy is possible, but its an intravenous diffusion and would require him coming to the clinic. So, difficult and would require him to gain strength to do so. So not an immediate possibility.

Rehabilitation: Move to a facility with the intent to undergo physical therapy, and other regimens to gain strength and ability to move around.

And finally

Nursing care: basically around the clock care, with hospice, to keep him clean, fed, and comfortable.

He doesnt want to do treatment, and even doing so it wouldnt be curative. (I almost said wouldnt necessarily be curative, but the necessarily isnt accurate).

He doesnt have the will, and the doctors pretty much agree in his condition, he might not even be able to benefit from rehabilitation.

So that pretty much transitions to:

End of life/palliative care in a nursing facility.

He has agreed to this so theyre going to get me a list of homes in the area. Because of his current condition it would be paid for by the VA.

The palliative doctor also expressed about the amount of oxycodone hes allowed to have. They gave him 5mg when he got here but he was sleeping most of the time. So they took it back to 2.5mg every 8 hours. We have decided to allow him to have it every 6, and that can be shortened to 4 if hes in constant pain in the future.

The head of medicine also suggested taking him off the antibiotics, but I pushed back on that because its helping him be lucid and will give me time to file some final paperwork, changes to his will, and do some FaceTiming with relatives out of state in the upcoming days.

So thats where we are at...

Now I have to rush to get the affairs in order

You are going to end up a much happier person playing the game than trying to change the rules.

This is the literal thinking rich people purvey in order to placate the masses to do their bidding. If you dont fight it, itll be over faster and youll be less miserable. Theres also another parallel that can be drawn to thats a bit darker, but the same sentiment.

The idea we should just accept our fate and be happy while being oppressed, downtrodden, and ground into dust is fucking ridiculous. There is a million times more of the lower class and I for one think its time for a very bloody revolution. I am obviously not saying there should be violence. Maybe throw pigs blood on their expensive cars. Or something equally bloody.

But fuck the idea we should just cater to the rich because it makes life easier. Fucking laughable.

I also shit and cum in their bathrooms for extended periods of time without their permission. I get my moneys worth.

WorstOfAll posted...

I didn't say nice. I said not mean. There are plenty of people here that I don't openly antagonize because they don't make themselves as easy of a target.

And I never demeaned anyone on this board who struggled with a lack of sex life. Never felt anything for them but sympathy. Not pity, just a genuine understanding that the dating world really fuckin sucks.

On this specific subject I only made fun of people who's sex lives were or are laughable, and only when appropriate.

If you think Jen hasnt openly antagonized me you either didnt see it or intentionally forgot. Lol

You can ask Zang how much I shit on him in some of his topics too lol

No comment. Ill be moderated and I usually get suspended. Lol

But to the idea that I make the topics, while I am caustic I havent been in the topics about my dad. At least not mostly. I am unintentionally caustic, but also intentionally a lot of the time to.

But you havent even tried to not be. Whether or not its intentional, or incidental because of this life change, its something to be cognizant of.

Im not unsympathetic to this life change as Ive had to deal with potential similar situations because of my wifes mental health, but if I just want to vent I try to not be an unmitigated [redacted with a baseball bat] but I also try to not lash out if people say things. I am not always successful. Lol.

Yeah, two characters.

Why do I need to defend it? Dude asked if it's normal for people to take documents related to their job. Yes it is, it just depends on the classification as to whether they can actually take it out of specific locations or not. Taking documents they are allowed to for their job isn't a crime, intentionally mishandling them is.

What more could you possibly want? What does "Why do you think that" even mean?

Lol thats a lot of words to say absolutely nothing. I literally only wanted to know if you had any actual reason to believe that statement and the basis for it. For my own personal edification.

You of course felt like taking off a diaper and wiping it across the walls with wide eyes of amazement was a better response.

Which I love how you yet again dont actually answer the very simple and pointed question I asked.

BlackScythe0 posted...

Depends on the level of classification...

This was literally all I was questioning. I was simply curious. Youve yet to actually answer why the level of classification matters, instead choosing to vomit in your shoes, stomp around in them, and yell See! Like youve actually answered anything.

Feel free to not respond, as youve shown yourself utterly incapable of following a single sentence question, let alone a complex conversation about how you couldnt answer a simple question.

Not to mention when he left office he both turned over everything he thought he had, and asked if anything was missing and was told no. Then upon the discovery of the items immediately turned them over, AND and investigation was automatically opened.

Or... Trump hiding documents, literally moving them room to room to prevent them from being found, lying about having them, given a multitude of chances to just turn them over

But you know LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.

How do you think your question made sense?

So you cant answer a simple question to defend your statement. Got it.

BlackScythe0 posted...

Think what? That they need documents to do their job? That some documents can be carried and others can only be viewed in specific secure facilities? You mean why do I think reality?

I remember seeing a video talk about document laws, they gave examples of people who had been successfully convicted as a guy who had a job to shred documents for the air force, he wanted to go home so he just threw them in a dumpster. Kid found them when he was playing in the dumpster and when the dad found said documents while cleaning kids room he called the base.

The other example was a dude who took some documents with him when he went to meet his friend decided to put them in his friends desk at the friends job and they went on a weekend trip. Friend didn't have a desk to himself and when the other guy who used that desk found them on monday called the base.

In order for this to be a crime he needs to have done something intentionally wrong with the documents and the most "obvious" wrong thing here was if the documents weren't supposed to be removed in the first place.

How in the remote fuck do you think any of that is an answer to my very direct question to a very simple statement?

They used to, but people were doing exactly what you want to do, so they cut it off. Most services don't have free trials because of it.

Reminds me of when I went in for a gall bladder removal about 20 years ago. They basically left me in a hallway for about 8 hours because they went off to try and find a room for me and then forgot I was there.

I was super hopped up on Demerol though, so I didn't give the slightest of fucks.

Heh that works. They have my dad on Oxy but he only gets a low dose every 8 hours or so.

Yep. Its an insane movie. Lol

I have a package baby m&ms so I will eat their babies.

So I get enough money that I can live comfortably for the rest of my life and be aroused at least twice a day?

So... downside?

When they pulled the rod out 2 months the nurse used a pair of pliers to remove it and gave me zero painkillers and was pissed I was screaming from the pain. The rod was the length of my forearm. We should have sued the hospital.

What the fuck... how did that story get worse?

VincentVega posted...

I broke my arm when I was 12 and needed a steel rod put in it to straighten it out. They didn't have free spot in the ER so I was on standby. 5 days I went without food, water, not a thing passed my lips and the IV was the only thing keeping me alive. Eventually they did let me eat and I.got the surgery the next day but for a year or so afterwards I got a very sick feeling when I got hungry and had to eat right away to make it go away. Hospitals can be barbaric at times.

Jesus... thats pretty fucked up.
