a reason for my leave of absence is well I am watching my uncle die right now.This weekend has been spent at my aunt's a few blocks away...he will be going any day now I am certain.....there are no hopes of miracles,just the hope that his pain will end soon and that my aunt can somehow firgure out how to deal with all of it....sorry for the MIA status and the fact that I had to leave to gather my thoughts and get myself back again...no one really seemed to understand that...If I am bad bordiee so be it.....Take care everyone and well we should not take things for granted,Jo

I'm so sorry about your uncle! Your MIA status is totally understandable. You don't have to explain your absence to me. I'm not your keeper. Jo, I'll keep you in my prayers. This is a tough time for you right now. {{{{{{{{{{{{JO}}}}}}}}}}}}

Jo, you are not a bad boardie!

your friend in nc,

Jo, I'm sorry to hear about the pain you and your family are going through at this time. You're right. We shouldn't take our time on this earth for granted.

Thanks to everyone...sorry I can't reply to each one personally for now......we spent all weekend there(only a few blocks from me if I didn't mention it)...and now I have to go back to work tommorow....not sure how really....I am sure something will happen this week...it was a tumor in his brain removed ...at first things were ok,yet well now....he was like 6'1 and maybe 250lbs.....now he is smaller then me(116lbs.)or look that way.His blood sugar was 405 tonight (way to high)when the nurse came and we found this out,we called the doctor who is also his brother-in-law....he came by and said we could do things but it would only prolong destiny....my aunt and cousin decided no....I can understand.He already has a living will(do not resisatate(Sp?))no insulin,his breathing is heavy,he may slip into a coma or well he may just not wake up...he hasn't eatten for four days,has been drinking ensure but didn't that today...he hasn't spoke in a week or more at all and does not want to wake up for anything,To be honest not sure he could wake up now.We tried to get him a bed at a place were people basically go in this condition,for they know what to do to make him more comfortable....no luck yet......my aunt has people with her tonight .....so we will see......thanks to everyone And yes I did want some time alone with him while he was still conuious to some degree to tell him I loved him and my aunt and that she will be taken care of.I missed my chance ,yet I think he knows those things.I am his buddy...he would always grab my hand when I went there and lol...at everything I said.it made me feel good,like I helped him in some way...thanks to everyone.....see you guys when things are better again.....when I can....take care of each other til I return.....bless you (((Jo)))))

Well Jo, sometimes it's best to let us know what's going on. Personally speaking, I'm only limited to my computer to communicate with you. It's not like you can't email me through my profile, nor have we exchanged phone numbers or any type of IM addresses.

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle, but c'mon look at it from both sides of the computer screen! It's good to "see" that you are still posting, but you're not being fair here!

We're always here to give a hug or for you to cry on someone's shoulder.

{{{{{{{{{{Jo}}}}}}}}}}.

 


Hugs,


Sebastian
