Thanks for all of the hugs and support regarding my father. I know the saga regarding my dad has gone on for quite a while. My brother and I saw him this morning, but he was barely there. He was in and out of consciousness, probably a lot to do with all of the medications he's receiving. I do recall him saying that we should contact the mortuary. Great, huh? He also expressed sadness that none of his friends, like his former girlfriend, had visited him. First off, they can't visit him because only immediate family can do so in the ICU. Secondly, these "friends" don't want to visit him. Only my siblings and I have, but he doesn't really acknowledge that. It's not because he doesn't love us, but it's because we probably make him want to run away. You know, when a person is so very sick they want to run away from the people that TRULY care. I'm not 100% sure that he will remember that I visited. He looks like he's heading towards death, but that should hopefully change as he gets over the hump of his withdrawals. The question is if he will remain sober. I would put $100,000 on him not remaining sober. It's sad, but true. My brother is the most stressed out of us all. I really feel for him. My siblings saw Dad yesterday experiencing hallucinations. We told his nurse that a very significant issue for him is psych issues. Dad brushes them off, and when a hospital sees an elderly sick alcoholic, even they seem to ignore them. The fact is, he will never recover if he doesn't address his psych issues. He can never properly address psych issues if he doesn't stop drinking.
