My Dad is battling his second round of Salivary Gland Cancer. It’s back again, and he’s to get an MRI next week so we can see if it’s worth more surgery or radiation. (Probably not at this point, per the lat conversation I had with his Oncologist.) They won’t let me go with him, but one of the nurses aide’s where he lives will be going.

I haven’t been able to see him in 5 weeks, and we’ve only been able to talk on the phone a few times. He’s mostly out of it and doesn’t understand what’s really going on (some dementia) but it’s very hard for him to understand why I’m not coming to see him as much as I used to.

I’m not being a whiner - this Chinese Flu is making a lot of other peoples’ lives suck worse. For example, NYC Cardiac Patients! :(

Heartbreaking, and I’m so sorry for you and others in this situation. I know about sudden heart attacks, and not that life owes me another minute, but I would like to be around for our economic recovery, and the righteous anger I hope we bring down upon our elected, globalists rat politicians.

That’s what I commented on a previous post. The hospital in our area let the exception be with dying patients. Family were allowed, but no longer Think about it your mother father, child or spouse could be dying and you would not to be able to be with them. If they did, they will be treated like radioactive waste. I for one would rather be at home with my pets than by myself locked in a hospital.

It’s something to think about.
