Dad is in intensive care. The Cardiac Cath results are in agreement with what Dad's Cardiologist said over the phone. End Stage. They can try to support him with meds. They are also seeing if he is a candidate for a pump that they give heart transplant patients before they receive a new heart. It is complicated and life is complicated with it. He may not want to live with it if he is a good candidate. And if he can't drive and can't work then he doesn't want to live. While I am sad, I believe he has a choice to make and he is still conscious to make it. I won't sign papers ending another parent's life. It should have not been up to me...but that's my old wound. Will I loose another parent to a trump election? Sigh. I am freaking out about the house. I have not bounced back from paying for my Mother's cremation, putting money into the downstairs kitchen and deck, paying for the new oil tank nor the months of his mortgage payment cost meds before the insurance came in. I am in a panic. I have maybe 6 months to a year, statistically. I need to learn what I need to be able to rent out an apartment if I hope to keepnthe house. I also need to start getting rid of things in the cellar. That and I need to focus and learn this bookkeeping job. How can I do that? It took me over 3 hours to get home as my train line is shut down. I was bussed to an inner city neighborhood to catch another buy to my city. While there a kid on a bike sped by me and grabbed my back pack...it was on my back proper so he could not get it. I was able to rip the bike out from under him. I told him if he didn't go away I would beat the shit out of him with his own bike. Other people were there so he went away. A train ambassador came up to me and asked if I was okay. Yeah, just angry. It's been a bad day. Tomorrow I need to leave the house at 4:15 am to get to a bus to bus me to the inner city so I can get a train and another bus to work. Oh boy.

Oh, Jen. I am so sorry to read this news.

Also fuck that punk who tried to mug you.

I am sorry. I really wish we/the US could get its shit figured out about this health "care" thing and senior health issues & care. It's beyond pathetic. We shouldn't be made to suffer like this.

Also, fuck the T and their pathetic attempts to try and get "alternate" ways into the city. 3 hours?! Jeezes.

Also, fuck that punk ass kid. You should have been allowed to beat the shit out of him.

I am so sorry to hear the news.
I hope your dad will make his wishes known before things go to far.

I am so glad you were able to stop that thief and also threaten to beat the crap out of him.
Did you give him back his bike?

Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your dad.
HUGS, Jon
