throughout she carried on...taking her oxygen tanks with her to a big basketball tournament and renting a scooter, with a horn, so she could traverse the lengthy halls to get to the arena....drinking and eating and laughing...
all the while struggling to breathe....
she didn't have to go thru all this....either did Rush....
Thankyou Rush....you've filled our minds with thought and laughter for so many,many years...
we will never forget....
About eight years ago, I had a cousin that was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. She was one of those vivacious ladies who seemed to never be sick a day in her life so the news was a major shock. When she asked the doctors, straight up, “how much longer do you think I’ll live?” they told her only 5% live beyond three months.
“So, you’re telling me I have a chance?”, was her reply.
She went through chemo and radiation at the same time, watched her hair fall out then return as kinky black hair instead of her usual straight blond hair. She used carts in public with a little horn and sometimes crashed into things or fell over.
She and her husband made a bucket list, including cruises, and she got to live through all of it, passing away 18 months after the initial diagnosis.
Her husband, an avid traveler, died a few years later while swimming with whales off the coast of the Dominican Republic from a massive heart attack. They were a truly fun and giving couple.
I wonder how much the stolen election and the second impeachment drained Rush in his final weeks?
