Re: Alberta Runner's Forum II
I hate early morning phone calls. The first one was several weeks ago, my hubbys uncle, calling saying his dad was very sick.
So, today the phone rings early. This time it's my dad calling for me. My grandpa is in the hospital, can't breathe on his own, his kidneys have shut down. He has a very severe case of phnemonia and with an infection in his blood. He's on life support, he has 48 hours to start breathing on his own, if he doesn't, it means he probably never will.
He's had Parkinsons every since I can remember, and was just diagnoised in the last couple of years with Alzehmers.
My grandparents are like parents to me, I lived with them for alot of my teenage years. He is such an amazing man, with such a lovely heart. He is so gentle. He has changed so much in the last few years that I almost don't recognise him.
What a time, on Dec 23, one of my Aunts died, brain cancer.
so, I'm waiting to hear more news from my dad, he said he would give us 12 hours notice before taking him off life support, so we could get there to say goodbye. (need to get to Saskatoon)
Sorry for the spelling mistakes, and I just needed to get this out.
