pop-pop's really ill :(
My pop-pop's not doing good. He was taken to the hospital on Thursday for peeing blood. They put him on antibiotics and sent him home for a UTI. Well, then Saturday night he laid down to go to bed and started leaking blood from his penis. So my uncle took him to the hospital and he's been there since. Sunday my mom went to visit and then on Monday when she was heading to work, my uncle called and told her Pop-pop's gotten worse. So she skipped work and went up to the hospital. They thought he might have had a stroke but turns out he had an adverse effect to some meds they gave him to help him sleep. So he became completely hyperactive and restless then began trying to rip out his IVs and such. Therefore they had to strap him to the bed and put mits on him to stop him from tearing things out/off. He's speaking but when he does speak, it's completely offensive and obscene! He's delusional and called my mom "Vic" (her name), Mari (my mom's sister in AZ), Sis (his dead sister 40+ yrs ago), and Mommy (his dead mother). Then he pleaded with my mom to put him to bed (he was in bed but he meant his own). He told her she didn't know what's best for him and he hopes he dies tomorrow (meaning today). As heart wrenching as this whole thing is - I just hope his suffering ends. He said himself that he was ready to die YEARS ago and since his first stroke 2yrs ago - he just hasn't been himself. His health has been declining drastically and he's pretty much given up his will to live. Ugg - this blows! Right now he's in ICU with feeding tubes and breathing tubes all hooked up to him. He's sidated since he hadn't slept in 3 days and frustrated that he can't move or talk. However - there's one plus - he stopped passing blood. To me, that sounds like a huge plus but the fact he's still in ICU makes me nervous. I'm really dreading what's to fallow at the point he passes because after my gmom's death things got ugly in the family cause everyone wanted to loot her. I'm just bracing myself at this point cause I gotta be strong for my mom, I'm basically all she's got. My dad's a COMPLETE insensitive bastard when it comes to this stuff and my brother is just as much a mess as my mom. He's been holding his composure so far but when the time comes - it's gonna get real ugly around here! *keep me in ur prayers*
