This weekend was hell. My Aunt (really, D's great aunt) was put in the hospital and put on life support (against her wishes).
They hospital didn't have an up to date DNR, so they kind of didn't have an option.
We drove up there Saturday and spent the day there. There was minor family fight (punches were attempted) over the DNR. Ultimately 1 son signed it despite the other's protest.
They are going to try one more thing before they let her go.
She started out with breast cancer and never really recovered from that by getting various infections (That she actually put herself into.. you don't go out with a shit load of people when you have a compromised immune system, FYI). Now, come to find out, she has Wegner's Disease. Some sort of auto immune disease that's rare (So rare it was on House, M.D.).
Anyway, after all this shit, D's Mom posted this shit on FB: Apparently this is the summer of Death...at least for our family. Last year we baked and broiled, now we mourn...first my cousin [cousin's name] was laid to rest at the tender age of 26, and now my aunt [aunt's name]...shes on life support never having fully recovered from her bout with breast cancer this year. Now someone must be brave enough to pull the plug because she didn't want to go out like this. So to everyone I say...LOVE YOUR PEOPLE NOW, NOT LATER!! Pray for us all...Viva Mi Familia!!
based on that.. you'll never guess WHO started the fight at the hospital.. She basically said that shit to the Aunt's two kids. "She's not alive, she's already gone, giver her what she wants pull the plug" etc etc. No empathy. Utter bitch, yo.
Yuck. Pi if you need anything I can drive now so let me know. I can meet you halfway to get you away from this mess. I'm sorry you and D have to deal with this. You guys are in my thoughts.
What a nightmare to have to go through. What is all the fighting going to accomplish? UGH! Families and drama go hand in hand unfortunately. T&P's for you and your family.
Aaaand, we got a call and there's nothing left to do. G'ma is on her way to San Antonio, and I'm stuck here with the super big meeting today and tomorrow. #fail.
HUGE (((HUGS))) You poor thing to have so much going on in your life right now. Stay strong and even though I'm relatively new I'm here to lend an ear, shoulder, a tissue...
Something about not being able to do a trencher on a steep hill and that he wasn't able to run a job (something that apprentices are not supposed to do anyway.. it's illegal).
I would have left but today was day one of a two day giant annual meeting. D scratched his eyeball and the funeral is Thursday. Luckily my boss gave me Thursday off. It's wine time, yo.
