First let me say thank you to everyone. Your collective hearts are indeed a refuge.

However, I found out today that my father is back in the hospital with full blown pneumonia. The tumor on his lung is only the tip of the iceberg. He has one on a lymph node in the middle of his chest and they suspect a brain tumor. The team of doctors working with him are pretty sure that the only thing that can be done at this point is quality of life treatment and not a cure. But that's okay, if its his time he'll let us know.

The tumor is starting to interfere with his memory and other functions. He forgot that I have been calling him. He called my sister and complained that I never call. He thought I was angry with him. He couldn't remember if his brother was one of his sons, his son-in-law or his brother.

Sooo, I am going to Tucson; probably this weekend.

If we can get him healthy enough we will be moving him to Seattle where he will be closer to my sister. I've already started communicating with the Puget Sound VA Cancer Clinic. There is soooo much paperwork involved in relocating a Vet Patient. Danged military and their paper work. :re:

Depending on how long this takes, I may or may not be able to catch up with Curtis & Andy before they leave for Psycho Mountain! Bummer.

Sorry fellas, some stuff is more important.

But again Thank You Everyone! God Bless You All!
