When it become known that my father had terminal cancer, they operated on him installing a colostomy bag, First day out of the hospital he's out mowing the lawn when a buddy of mine tells me what a jerk I am.
I told him that he should then go over and demand that my father remove himself form the mower then hop into his death bed where he belonged. My father was an avid gardener when he become ill I planted the vegetable crop, he would drag himself along the rows weeding. Pretty pathetic to watch but the man was going to finish his days the way he seen fit.
He passed his final moments in his home with family, that was a very rewarding experience. Sure I hated to see him leave, after all he had become my best friend, but with the pain he was going through it would have been selfish of me to ask him to stay longer.
I agree with you on one count Geo, you've been dealt a bad hand, its time to man up.
Your dad and mine sound a lot a like. My father was the same. He was always out doing something regardless of being sick or not.
He didnt let anything really get him down.
Unfortunately, he developed some aneurisms in his leg...docs refused to operate, put him on meds, meals and wheels, etc.
The only thing i ever regretted was not being there when he passed but was grateful to have one last 3 hour conversation with him the night before he passed away.
Ps. whenever i do pass on, you can make the donation to eithr st jude or any charity that does breast cancer.
