That's my dad. He's on his 5th year, now. Stroke victim, left side paralyzed. Can't do for nothing. Recognizes some of his kids, but not all of us. He's been within a hairsbreadth of death 3 or 4 times now, we all get to grieve anew, but then he always seems to rally.
The rest of the immediate family lives with the sword of Damocles, just wondering when we'll have to drop everything.
Mom stayed by his side every day till she died in a car crash last year, (going to see him, of course).
Only the medical community benefits.
Absolutely sucks balls. No way to live, no way to die.
