my current situation

okay so monday night as i was preparing my stuff for the DNA evoution rail jam taking place on tuesday my dad calls me and says i have to leave for wisconsin in about an hour, "start packing your shit" were his words. I know this is no good considering i live in ohio and all my relatives live in wisconsin which include my grandpa who is very sick. multiple myeloma, something i would never wish on anyone. my grandpa has been battling it for about 7 years. the usual time a person lives with the disease is 3 years before they die. oh yeah and heres a sort of definition of it

-type of cancer of plasma cells which are immune system cells in bone marrow that produce antibodies. Myeloma is regarded as incurable, but remissions may be induced with steroids, chemotherapy, thalidomide and stem cell transplants

he has already had 2 bone marrow transplants, so hes already met the max. its kind of sad because i asked my dad how long we'd be up here and he pretty much told me flat out...... he didnt know. its pretty much going to be until he dies or beats it which if you read above, its incurable. my mom has dealt with many deaths in her family due to cancer [my parents are divorced so my dads here my moms at home] and right before i left on monday night my mom was there to tell me its alright, just dont cry to much, and that god always takes the good ones........ he was a teacher, a carpenter, a painter, a handyman, an intelligent, a giver, a chef, and most of all the greatest man you've ever met.

the first day i was here i spent 7 hours in the hospital. they brought him home yesterday evening so that he would be more comfortable. he cant talk, he cant swallow, he cant feed himself, he cant use the restroom with like 3 people helping him. its so sad to see what sickness does to a person. when he got home i showed him my box i made in shop class, and you can hear a breath of "wow, beautiful" i just would like you all to think positive and let him keep his senses and great mind as long as possible
 
i feel for you dude. but of what you have said about what he's done in his life, it looks like it's been a good one. just look at that when it gets sad or something, and you'll be ok. ++++++vibes
 
i'm sorry you have to deal with this, my grandma had cancer and wasn't this miserable but you could just watch it drain the life out of her and see how much pain she was in, it was almost a relief when she died because i knew it had to be better for her than being alive. so good luck dealing with all of this for the next few weeks, days, however long it takes and ++++++++vibes
 
yeah i went through the same shit with my dad who had pancreatic cancer it really sucks and it brutal to watch but its a part of life its amazing that he lived for so long though + madd vibes for you and your family
 
blah blah blah, my life has problems and everyone else's is perfect.

but if it makes you feel better here's some plus signs from some random guy on the internet ++++++++vibes
 
wow inconsiderate ass

im sitting here with my grandpa right behind me, i just have to sit here looking at him sleeping, but you cant tell his eyes are droopy, he cant controll anything i jsut had to, at 16, suction spit fom my grandfathers mouth so he doesnt choke while hes sleeping, he cant even smile, his breathng is so shallow, hes hooked up to an iv right now.

i hope you never go through something like this becasue you wont be mature enough to handle it.

and its not my first time, my opa [grandpa] died in a hospital bed in his living room to cancer. so its almsot as if round two at an older age.

thanks everyone else
 
yeah my dad died from cancer a few years ago and i understand what u r going through in a way.

but that dude has prolly never been through something that tragic and doesn't understand it
 
that was a dick thing to say. when you're going through a death in the family or a death of a friend, anyones support makes you feel better.
 
fuck you, way to totally ruin the thread, if you're gonna say something like that just don't post at all you asshole
 
i lost 3 grandparents and an uncle all within 8 months of each other but i didnt go crying on the internet about it... i sucked it up, did what i had to, and then moved on with my life. i've also lost a couple of friends so far and trust me that sucks ALOT more, so get pumped for that ;)

but your right, maybe one day i'll have to "go through something like this," because so far everythings just dandy in my life

and yes, i am being an asshole
 
racine

about 8 hours and a time zone away from home

i dont even know how long im going to be here.... i brought a huge bag of clothes, my skateboard, some books, and my cell.... prepared for the long haul

kinda sucks one minute i was fixing my skis and the next i waa in a car on the way hear calling my friends sayign sorry i cant take you guys
 
UR A DICK

shes just asking for some vibes, i dont know what ur problem is and I can see where she is coming from

I have also lost a few friends, but it doesn't give u a excuse to be a dick
 
i am a dick, and having gone through alot of shit in my life (along with the rest of the world) isn't an excuse. but the internet allows it. and it just bugs the hell out of me to see people pleading for sympathy from people they will never meet.

but keep flaming me, call me an asshole, lower my "karma", you're only feeding my fire
 
thats terrable that he is in such pain.

my grandpa died about 3 weeks ago. he was playing golf and had a heart attack. ive never had anyone die on me it was really shitty. but tough it out. it hurts now but after a few weeks you only remember the good times.
 
im not going to lower ur karma, ahahha, i hate the whole idea of karma. but i will say that ur stuff isnt needed. u made ur point, so dont be such a dick. and i can see where u r coming from with the internet thing but she is just asking for vibes
 
So you're going to call her out and talk shit to her because you say she's looking for sympathy?

How are you any better when you're sitting on your keyboard trying to be a fucking forum warrior. Whose worse here honestly? The girl's just trying to vent a little here, what the fuck does it matter to you. If you don't want to hear about it or read her shit, then don't click the fucking link, simple as that.

On a positive note, hope all is going well in your bad situation.

+ vibes
 
the last few sentences and such almost made me cry.
it's really hard to hear that, and i wish you and your family all the best.
+++++vibes.
 
I'm not gonna call you a dick man, but I sure do feel bad for you. Hope you get your shit together.

You're G-pa's in my thoughts Errrka. Sounds like he's a good guy.
 
My grandmother died of cancer in december and I spread her ashes this morning. I dont even mean to sound cliche but I feel better and I didnt even know I felt bad before
