I agree Sal... Bob often spoke of that fear. That might be of some comfort.

PKRBUM......what about the possibility of a UTI. Bob was on antibiotics for pneumonia but he may have a resistant infection.. causing him to be unresponsive. While visiting Bob told me he was having problems urinating....no syptoms other than takes a while to get his stream going which is common

Agreed..... worried and praying!PkrBum wrote:From what I understand... hospice will set up the equipment and care. I just don't know what's happening right now. I expect a call if that plan changes or there's further development in Bob's condition. I'd advice we all try to calm our concerns right now... whatever could've or should've been done is the past. I have utmost faith that hospice will handle this with great care and thoroughness.

Part of it was guilt that a month ago in between shots and before my scans and surgery, I did not try to make a trip to meet Bob and talk about his game plan with the cancer. There simply are things beyond our control and I guess providence does play a role in each of our lives. Bob over the last 12 years made it clear in no uncertain terms that he did not want to rot away in a nursing home. He always spoke so highly of his cousin, who he considered a brother. I think he is at peace, and sadly it does sound like the cancer is aggressive. At first I thought he needed a pep talk, but then I realized they were suggesting more surgery on the tumor area, and after the damage he sustained, I think I would be reluctant to trust them to get clear margins without further paralysis......Sophie's choice. I am now very sad. In some ways after 12 years of conversing with Bob, I have spent more time with him than any of my high school friends, or college friends. We shared good times and bad times.
With so many good people passing who we shared hours of our lives, it has become very difficult for me. I was supposed to be dead in January 2012. I was one of the few where the double shots actually extended my time line. I have seen retired Leo, ghost rider, Neko, and Teo all pass since they removed my lung with Cancer, and it just does not seem fair. I wish there was a miracle for Bob, but we all know this is extremely serious. I am honored to have shared time with him, and those who made efforts to help him in his need. We really have some quality people who may be like oil and water at times, but scrape the surface......to the last one, they are people of character.
