**For those of you who know the story about my uncle you can skip to the second part or just read all of it your choice**
This is going to be a long post so please bear with me and read it all..Before I get to the present I need to go back a few months ago.In March my uncle was taken to the ER with back& stomach pain well after all the test were done come to find out he had a problem with his pancreas according to the Dr the front & back of his pancreas were dead but the middle was still working so with his pancreas being so bad he became a Type 1 diabetic & would be on insulin for the rest of his life while he was in he hospital he ended up having to have dialysis, a trek tube, a tube up his nose & one down his throat all while fighting fevers & blood infections(the Dr''s had no idea where the blood infections were coming from) well he eventually started getting better & ended up getting all the tubes removed & coming off dialysis..So after he left there he went to rehab for a few weeks & was released on July 4th(gives a new meaning to Independence day huh.) He was in the hospital from March the middle of June & spent 2 weeks in rehab getting his hands stronger so he could give himself his shots & stuff and get his muscles used to going again..
So fast forward to today I talked to my mom on Sat & she told me on Friday my cousin P(my uncle's daughter) called her & my aunt while they were in N. Carolina they were visiting my cousin B(aunt's son) & they stopped to see my sister in Georgia but anyways..P called & told them she found her dad(my uncle) laying on the floor not breathing and she thought maybe he had a stroke & that he was in the hospital so they(my mom & my aunt) headed back home to Mass well come to find out he didn't have a stroke they did a cat scan & didn't find anything but here is the back news he isn't breathing on his own only with the help of a ventilator he hasn't woken up & they don't know now long he was without oxygen.He can hear you and when the nurse dropped something he flinched a little so I don't know what that means...His heart rate fluctuates like crazy it drops really low & rises really high & they end up giving him a shot of something & resetting the machine...I guess they had a family meeting when they got back & they were going to issue a DNR in case something happens they were going in to talk to the Dr & see what else is going on..I don't understand how a man can go from being relatively healthy to fighting for his life twice in a span of 6 months with all the wonders of modern medicine can't someone figure out something ? I am totally exhausted to be quite honest I sat here last night thinking of wanting to dive head first into a carton of ice cream or a bag of cookies(neither of which I have & didn't feel like going out to get any) but I did have a few drinks Jack & Oj since I don't drink soda I know alcohol is probably not good when your watching what you put in your mouth but I figured a few drinks was a lot better then consuming a carton of ice cream or a box of cookies & feel guilty later the bottle is still full & so isn't the Oj..Thank you all for reading this I am going to surf some blogs & then go crawl into bed...
