One day it goes to H.
I have two houses, the main one and the antique farm house. I rent the farmhouse. Last tenant was 23 years and was killed in a plant explosion. His best bud moved in and has been here for 6 years. Fit in nicely to the routine on the farm and helping out.He is a smoker and drinker. Ended up with lung cancer over a year ago. Radiation and chemo and all good to go. Then arm swelled due to radiation. Fluid in chest..in hospital to drain a gallon. Ok.. Then VA put him back on maintenance chemo. He got up the other day and sick. Called daughter, into VA hospital.
She called yesterday. He was due to have surgery to drain pus caused by staph infection, super bad. Did shoulder, spine, cause he had a T12 compression fracture. And the hip replacement. Got agitated and they induced comma. She was there and so was a PRIEST!
Gather the family. They put him on a ventilator. She spent the night. This morning they went into to check heart, two valves infected and he is too sick to operate. Last she said they were doing an MRI at noon to see if staph is in brain. IF so, with antibiotics not working, they will bring him out of comma, take off ventilator and allow family their good byes!
I told her do not let them give up on him!! She said definitely not!
I have not heard news since. Test was to be done by 3 and it is almost 5.He is 58 years old. A lawyer and good guy. One day it all hits the fan and all she wrote.
It will not be the loss of the 23 year one, but sure rocks my world and farm. He surely did not deserve it. 23 year tenant was crushed to death when building landed on him. His sister choked to death last week at 56. And now his bud suffers and all with cancer and the problems the great medical industry gave him. Radiation destroys lymph system and chemo and radiation destroys immune system. And hospital visits gave him staph.
I am healthy cause I NEVER go near medical system nor Doctors!

Does that mean the old farm house will soon be vacated and ready for the next tenant?
If your friend was a dog or a cat, they would give him a quiet dignified injection where he just drifted off to sleep and never woke up.
I see the medical establishment where you are is still old school, wake them up, take away medication and treatment and watch them die at their own pace alert to most of what is going on about them. Shame humane laws don't apply to humans. JS.
Bye the bye, if it was me in that situation, I'd be begging for the quiet dignified injection. I know I am going to die. It is just a matter of when. Now later, in a time scale relative to the Universe, how does a year either side really make a difference?

He suggested his worker. Guy is not that responsible and has a woman and 8 year old kid. Nope! Dont need someones kid on my farm, barn, woods, river, wood stove. Now maybe his pa wants to move in. 59 and single which means he is old enough to have a brain. Maybe. Will check it out more before I say yea or nay. Had enough bad renters over the years.
Now the poor daughter and son. Girl was with dad when he died. Son was home. She is ?? 25? Older? Engaged, has house they are buying and works. Son is 20 and a baby. Mommy? Daddy?
Get this...tenant was a lawyer. And did not have a will, or do power of attorney to daughter. Even in and out of hospital, cancer, chemo, and lots of crap wrong. Had hip replacement and she thinks never healed and shouldnt have had it. He died of massive staph infection.
She said he had NO money. She is dealing with his law office, cases not done, house to clear out, funeral with no money, paperwork and all. He lived hand to mouth. Money in, money out, hope for a new clients retainer. She said cremation is $5000. Owes medical examiner to pronounce, $600. Put obit in paper, $500! Aunt did main state paper and that was $2000!
Who knows what debts he had. And no money or estate to pay them. Owes his clients?
I give her credit. She is strong and has stepped up to the plate and determined to do it all. Day by day. I texted her to get 10 death certificates because needs them to close things like bank and credit card. She is ahead of me..got 30! Good girl.
