The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Mom just called maybe an hour ago. dad is in bed. Has been most all day. He is in lots of pain.

We think he has some sort of cancer but due to no insurance he doesnt go to the doctor. He gets these sores that swell up and break they make him very ill. He has been getting them more often and they are getting worse. He has been having a lot of problems walking. His hip gives out a lot on him.

My mom is very scared and worried. She called me to see what to do. I told her to see if he is running a fever. No fever. Then let him sleep. Call her doctor and see if he could give her an antibiotic for him. Doctor wont be in till tomorrow.

I told her to stop moaping around. That that isn't gonna do any one any good.

I told her to get a grip and realize that he is gonna die. Hopefully not soon but, to just be prepared.

She had a dream a month ago that she saw dad die before grandpa.

she was in a car with dad, grandpa and my two boys.

Grandpa was trying to fix a radio and dad was driving.....then the car stopped and dad was gone.

She found him laying in front of the car and a shroud over him. Then when she looked back in the car the boys were ok and grandpa said its ok Im trying to fix it..while he was working on the radio.

So she is concerned that dad will die before grandpa.........which may very well happen.

I know you don't know me but if he has no insurance, there are plans that most hospitals have that will let bills be paid over time. There are also grants that will help pay for some things.



Look into it.



My uncle is currently being treated for cancer. He has two areas and hopefully no more. He has one in his brain towards/in the brain stem and the other is in his chest.



We're watching him steadily get worse day by day. Soon it's probably going to effect his breathing and heart beat. He's slurring his words, becoming emotional, lost all control and use of his left limbs, and is starting to see and hear things that aren't there.



I've already lost my dad in 2004, and he's like a second dad to me.



Please take my advice. Call the hospital and just ask them about it. See if they can help your family out. Or at least get him into the doctor to get something to help with the pain.

My mom has been great !!!! I have been working a lot and haven't had time for much else. My oldest needed to go to the doctor because his allergies were / are out of control. My poor babe. :-( His eyes wont stop watering and he can't quit coughing. School has even sent him home. I couldnt take off work...so my mother came to my rescue. She has taken him to the doctor and home with her. While at the doctor, the doc said my other son needed to be seen too for his check up.......so mom scheduled an appt for the next day. She called me at work to fill me in......but I was slammed and really didnt have time to chit chat. I got pissy with her. That I just asked her to do one thing not five. Then I hung up......one of my assistants put me back into my place with the reality that when she wants to talk to her mom or yell at her mom she has to go to the cemetary. I busted into tears and called my mom right back. I made everyone else wait and took three minutes out of my day to call her and say I am sorry mom, thank you for all that you do for me.



It took me a while to get a grip on things....and here it is a few days later and I still remember what my assistant said. I won't forget that.



I love my mom very much and I thank her every day. I need to thank her more. Since someday ......she won't be there to help me or to yell at me or me yell at her or talk to each other.....



So if you are reading this and you have a mom still.....go tell her thank you. and give her a hug let her know that you do love her and appreciate her.

Even if she yells at you or you two don't see eye to eye all the time......
