another month another update
Hiya.
First off my uncle who was in the hospital passed away yesterday at about five minutes to four. He had a long fight and it was a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. It was weird that one minute he was fine and was going to be coming home (Well to rehab anyways) and the next day he had two heart attacks and was going down hill. Then he improved but my aunt was told he would be in the hospital for another month at least. Then he got pheumonia and had other complications....at one point he was a candidate for a heart transplant and the next he was too weak and the next they were going to try something called a tantum heart to make him strong enough to take a heart transplant.....things changed every day. On Sunday it was found that his bowels were blocked and that blood wasnt flowing correctly....at that point he had been pretty much unconscious for a few days due to the morphine they were giving him. It was decided then there was nothing they could do.....the infection he had from the pneumonia had gone away but returned and there was nothing more they could do. They stopped the meds yesterday morning and removed the balloon that was in his heart (that they had put in, removed, and put in again before this) about three thirty yesterday afternoon and he died in his sleep shortly after. My family is pulling togethor and my friends have been a great source of strength for me. Calling hours are Thursday five to eight....gotta call paul and see if he will watch angel as i think she is just too young at this time....and the funeral is Friday at 11 (she will be in school by then). I just got back from buying clothes for both....what a depressing bit of shopping that is...and even bought a dress to wear one of those days. As silly as that is me wearing a dress is actually a sign of strong emotions for me as I dont normally wear one for anyone....last time I wore even a skirt was the day my divorce was final and before that was my wedding day.
There has been other crap happening...paul thinking he was going to have to move and freaking out angel and then not having to........but that's a long story that I dont feel like getting in to...which is why I didnt bother posting about it in the first place.
Other than that it's same old same old. Got a parade to do this weekend with Thal...looking forward to it...planning on spending the night at his house where we can have a few drinks in my Uncle's memory (gotta find out what kind of wine he drank). Im off of work until at least Saturday for Bereavement...or so Im planning anyways...Darryl may email me and tell me that walmart refused that many days for an uncle....if so it's just too bad as the most Im willing to do is a half day thursday (like i did today) and off friday. We shall see though as I will email him later.
Visited Michelle last Wednesday. Had a fun day but wish I did it more often.....just not enough time in a day between work, taking care of angel, and everything else. Im suppose to go to a rally tomorrow...may still go, dont know...will see how Im feeling.
