One of my best friend's (Ralph) father passed away last night, he went in to the hospital on Saturday due to pain in his side. He had infections, possibly cancer and other really bad things. I have been talking with Ralph and he is doing ok. I have had to deal with all kinds of death in my family from a early age, the wife had to deal with it the first time ever when her grandfather passed away four years ago. This is Ralph's first time with this. So I am doing what I can, being there for him and staying positive.
So if you or someone you love is being a butt head about their health please have them go talk to a doctor or health physician. Also, I have learned from another friends troubles, know what you parents want to do, where their wills are and get power of attorney now rather than later. My friend Peggy's mother suffered a stroke and is in the hospital; Peggy could not do much legally since she did not have power of attorney and did not know where her mom had all her documents.
I plan to have the talk with my parents pdq.
