beanside | No, we don't need no friction we don't need to do it dry

It's Sunday and I actually slept til 8:30! Unfortunately that means that everyone is up at once, and I am wildly overstimulated.

So now, Hospice isn't sure that dad is bad enough for them. The doctor certainly seems to think so, but the actual hospice group isn't so sure. They were going to reevaluate at some point today, so I have no fucking clue what's going on.

When my sister went down to see dad yesterday, he was somewhat lucid. He informed her that he wasn't ready to die, but in the same breath said no feeding tube. I don't think he is capable of understanding. She spoke with the doctor who was very blunt. He's dying. He's slow motion drowning in his own snot, because he isn't capable of coughing it out. His kidneys are failing. The infection came back, and even if the antibiotics work on it this time, it's just going to come back. She doesn't think he'll last more than a few more days, and she'd like him to be somewhere that he can get compassionate care.

My sister doesn't particularly like the doctor, so when Hospice said that they weren't sure he was a candidate yet, she immediately started behaving like there was hope. I'm pretty sure there's not.

I'm going to go down today and see what I can find out.

Had a lovely game, during which I started feeling increasingly shitty, to the point that I cancelled the second game. which turned out to be a good thing as towards the end of the night I was having horrible gas pains in my stomach. I basically turned on my side, took a gas X and went straight to bed. It *sucked*. It's still a bit tender today, so we'll see how that goes.

Today, we have no games, since

poisontaster is still not feeling well. Kind of grateful for that. I need a day to breathe.

Jess is still sick with a horrible dry barking cough and a little fever, I feel so bad for them. I think they're going to go to urgent care tomorrow and get checked out.

Basically right now, we're in a holding pattern. It's annoying and I wish we could get out of it.

And now, I'm going to go think about pants. Everyone have an excellent Sunday!
