The End of a life

March 9th, 2007 | by audit |

Well as I’ve said before on here, 2007 has sucked so far. Now for the latest reason and it has nothing to do with me but instead my wife’s step-dad. Yesterday her Mom calls her and said the hospital has stopped all pain meds, Chemotherapy, and that he can go at anytime. They moved him to the hospice section of the hospital so needless to say, Karen had to get down to Florida and do it fast! I got on the phone with her mom and my folks to try to figure it out because we just didn’t have the money to get her down there. Well my folks came through and got her on a flight out last night.

I spoke with her this morning after being up all night working on a computer for a guy at work that needed a full backup, format, reinstall and I promised him it would be done today and I never break my promises. She said that her step-dad looks like he’s dead already but his brain and heart just don’t know it yet.

Now I’m going a little off topic here so forgive me, My wife and her Mom have Verizon for phone service. I wasn’t able to reach my wife, nor was she able to make any calls from inside the hospital because her piece of shit Razor phone says no service, but yet her Mom who has the same service has full bars on her phone. First words out of my wife’s mouth was asking if I paid the bill. Well let’s see, her phone and mine are on the same bill and i was calling from my phone so yes I did pay the damn bill. I know that once we get back on our feet again with the hospital and medical bills, I’m taking that razor and seeing how many .22 shells I can put through it. My son just wants to use the shotgun and use it for skeet practice because he can’t stand it either. Then I’ll get a decent phone off ebay but what type yet, I have no clue. I WILL get her using txt messaging and e-mail if it kills me because god only knows that txt messaging is becoming very popular and it’s easier for my kids to reach her sometimes doing that then via her cell ringing. I know because they do it to me when I have my BB ringer muted in meetings but SMS tone is still loud.

So back on subject, Karen’s supposed to arrive back on Sunday because it’s hell trying to get a sitter for the kids right now since our main sitter is leaving on vacation this weekend and I don’t want to leave my kids home alone to get off to school on their own or worse yet, come home alone. Because just my luck, I’d end up with an emergency at work and not able to make it home until very late if at all. Plus with my daughter’s health issues, she needs someone that can keep an eye on her.

So I guess this is how my day is going to start, I’m trying to figure out what to make the kids for dinner for the next 3 days but I’m sure I”ll get something figured out. Now’s the time when I wish that I actually had a credit card. Well life is as it is.
