SAD AND LONESOME
GEE, IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE I BLOGGED. MY WIFE AND HER SISTERS HEADED FOR FLORIDA LAST SATURDAY BECAUSE THEIR 92 YEAR OLD FATHER WAS BAD, AND BACK IN THE HOSPITAL. SHE WAS TO BE BACK YESTERDAY BUT ON WED., THEY TOOK HIM OFF LIFE SUPPORT AND MOVED HIM UPSTAIRS TO HOSPICE.
ONE DOCTOR CAME IN TUES. AND WANTED TO DO A CT SCAN. MY WIFE ASKED WHAT HE WOULD DO IF SOMETHING WERE FOUND. "OPERATE, OF COURSE", HE SAID. WELL, HERE'S A 92 YEAR OLD, IN VERY BAD SHAPE, HARDLY BREATHING, AND THIS YAHOO WANTS TO DO SURGERY. MUST BE A BOAT PAYMENT DUE.
WED. HIS REGULAR DOCTOR CAME IN AND SAID HE WON'T LAST 24 HOURS. THURS. HIS REGULAR DOCTOR CAME IN AND SAID HE WON'T LAST 24 HOURS.
DITTO FRI. AND SAT. HERE IT IS 4 PM SUNDAY AND HE'S STILL HANGING IN.
SO, MY WIFE WILL BE BACK SOMEDAY. THE ONE POSITIVE THING IS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF, AND GET READY TO MOVE, IF THE REALTOR EVER GIVES ME A CLOSING DATE.
I'M NOT MUCH FOR THE BACHELOR LIFE. GOOD THING THE CAT UNDERSTANDS ME. HE HASN'T LEFT MY SIDE............AND, HE DOESN'T SNORE.
