Update on my Uncle, over the weekend the medical staff in Bakersfield was telling us his brain aneurysm may be repairable. After more in depth examination today they decided that there was no surgery option as the aneurysm is in a place that isn't reachable. His doctors told my other Uncle, the one who lives closer and has been dealing more with this day to day than my parents have, that he could live 2 hours or he could live 2 years, point being that the aneurysm in his brain could burst anytime. On top of this no one really knows what the swelling in his brain will do to his already diminished brain function he had from the dementia. My Uncle and Aunt, the still healthy ones, are looking for a full time nursing home for Jerry now, as opposed to the dementia center he'd been in, though no one seems to think he'll be there long.
My Dad asked me to go with him tomorrow to the funeral home in Atwater where Jerry's wife was buried in the fall of 07. The plot next to hers is already there and waiting for Jerry, we just need to go pick out a casket, service, and finalize arrangements as to who will pick up his body and how it'll be handled etc to get him there. Cheery stuff eh? Yeah, you may be able to tell how forward I'm looking to tomorrow.
I'll have just enough time after the funeral home trip to try and make my face into stone and go to work where I'll do my best to pretend like I'm not at all bothered by the drinking and laughing and good times being had around me.
