MY GRANDFATHER HAS DIED

It had been a good day really. We had a nice little barbeque with our friends. Xeno and his wife, as well as my step-niece were there. It was the kind of thing I needed after the stress of the last few weeks. So after thing calmed down my mother called with the news. Even after knowing it was going... Sign in to see full entry.

THE OLD MAN IS BACK IN TOWN

Xeno_x is in town for visit. Most likely he'll be blogging some from my sister's house, where he is staying for the first part of the week. He seems glad to be back out here to see the grandkids. Sign in to see full entry.

WAITING FOR THE WORLDCON

There is less than a month to go before we get the World Science Fiction Convention, known as the Worldcon, out here in Colorado. My guess is there are many who have no idea what this is. Here is the official page for the World Science Fiction Society. And here is the page for Denvention 3,... Sign in to see full entry.

THAT DID NOT LAST LONG AT ALL

Everything with my grandfather had seemed to settle down again, with him getting a whole bunch of new medication after a week log hospital stay and some real psychiatric evaluations. Looking at his pattern, we should have had a few months before he started it all up again and tried to starve himself... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS OF MY LIFE

I spent all afternoon at the hospital doing what I could to help. My grandfather had been admitted on Monday and he was on an IVs to get him rehydrated. He was suffering from acute kidney failure and that time. This morning started off really nasty, with him being violent and aggressive. That was... Sign in to see full entry.

LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A LONG DAY AHEAD OF ME

My mother just called and she needs my help with my grandfather. There is a lot more to it now than my post from a few days ago, but I don't have time to get into it here. It is my day off and I have no reason as to why I cannot be there to help out. So I am done here for now and will most likely... Sign in to see full entry.

AND THE CYCLE WITH MY GRANDFATHER BEGINS AGAIN

Some of you may remember six months or so ago when I wrote about my grandfather and how close to death he was due to his own actions to try and weaken himself, and then how he got better and that in about six months or so we would most likely be going through it all again. Well we are going through... Sign in to see full entry.

THAT IS IT, I AM OUT OF HERE

This will be my last post for a few days. I will be leaving for camp in just a few hours. Although I'll be back Saturday evening, I doubt I will do any blogging till Sunday morning the earliest. So any comments you leave will not be replied until then. It should be a fun get away from everything.... Sign in to see full entry.

GONNA BE GONE FOR A FEW DAYS, LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS

Tomorrow morning I am off to Scout Camp for a few days. Should be fun. All four boys in the Den are going and the older brother of one of the boys will be with us as well. So it should be a good group. At least one parent for each of the boys will be there as well, which will make things easier for... Sign in to see full entry.
