I helped my Mom 7 years ago through months of hospice and it is hard on those who are left behind. This sounds even more so, will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care Thoughts and prayers are most welcome. Thank you. Apparently, life-saving procedures are unlikely to produce meaningful results and may actually do more harm than good. Even if they succeed, his mind is going and he will remain in bed, in pain, and not altogether lucid. As such, it seems that we will cease life-saving procedures within a week, and after that he will last for between 3 days and a few weeks. I just need to support my mother as much as I can, be there for him, and try not to continually break down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMontanaSKY Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 A lazy kid. His mother is Eastern European so I was so surprised he even acts like that. EE families usually discipline their kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 https://www.joblo.com/bruce-willis-moonlighting-creator-gives-update-on-condition/ I heard rumors that Tarantino is trying to get him in at least one small role in his last movie, The Film Critic, as a Pulp Fiction reunion. Sadly, it will mostly likely be similar to Burt Reynolds in OUATIH when he was supposed to play Bruce Dern's role before he died a month before the scene began. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Ugh, covid was going around my mom's senior residence again and she caught it. It gives her atrial fibrillation for some reason and did again this time. She tested postive for covid and ended up in the er due to fainting from the afib. It's under control now but she's in the hospital a few days; not the best place when you are 88 years old. Of course the ER took forever, we were there until 3 am just getting her admitted. Long weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastillePark Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My mom's little doggie had to be euthanized. He's had seizures over time but they've mostly been well controlled until Tuesday night. He had a couple of smaller ones and then Wednesday night had a major one that he never really recovered from. My mom said she could tell he was struggling to breath and even walk so she made the decision to let him go to "doggie Heaven." It's hard for me knowing how much she loved the little guy and that he was kind of the last living thing that she and my dad cared for together late in my dad's life (he died 2 years ago this month). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caring thoughts to you and your mom. . It's so hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet, even more so with him being your dad's last pet. I'm sure your mom will appreciate that you have memories of her fur guy along with her. Edited October 21, 2023 by blueschica 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 10/24/98, 25 years ago today, they pushed the button and J. L. Hudson's iconic main store in downtown Detroit was imploded. The store with everything. Famous for their window displays, one of the largest replicas of the U.S. flag, and it s Christmas holiday conversion of their 12th floor into "Toyland". I tried to work in stock replacement part time prior to Christmas of 1969 before the flu-which turned out to be Hong Kong Type A-knocked me out for a week. Even seeing vids of the implosion are a drag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago my dog had a massive stroke at age 14...I had him put down humanely (vet's office.) I couldn't handle the thought of having a lingering confusing death. He lived his best life. Sounds like your parents gave that dog a good life. That's something to treasure. I'm sad about the impending demise of a business mentor of mine. He survived Vietnam so I know he doesn't fear death, & getting old has been hard for him. Off to Valhalla with my man G. Also sad about another mass shooting. UGH can't even go to Wal Mart to run an errand without worrying about some nutcase whipping out a gun and making chaos for exactly no good reason. What is it with these guys picking Wal Marts to attack? Seriously? I hate Wal Marts but I just try to avoid them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a pet is both a joy and a heartbreak when it comes time to say goodbye. The little doggie had a wonderful life with two people who loved him very much. I am so sorry for you and your Mom's loss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
