My Dad was my hero since I was a kid.For about the last 10 years of his life he lived with me and I took care of him (smoker's lungs).The day arrived when my older brother decided that he needed a nursing home...not an inappropriate decision to be sure.He was misreable for the year he was there.Then came his health collapse and I argued for continued aggressive treatment while the doctor argued against it (he was 89).I was outvoted 2 to 1...my brother and sister voting to accept the doctor's argument.
Nobody did anything wrong...not the doctor,not my brother,not my sister,not me.But it was damn hard to watch because of his suffering and because he was such a damn fine Dad...and man.
Gotta reach for a Kleenex now...
Oh im sorry... yeah been there.. it sucks for sure...
hard to watch someone you love so much become nothing like they were before...
my GF got lung cancer... im so glad i saw him when he was still pretty mobile and NOT at the end, mom did that :(
