Heavy stuff first.
I am in England again, just six months after my last visit.
I wish I could say that my Father is no worse, but sadly I cant. Even the slightest movement, like sitting up, leaves him breathless and a trip to the bathroom takes an hour to plan. If you smoke, and are having trouble stopping, I suggest taking care of a chronic pulmonary disease patient for a few days, watching them drowning in fresh air and see how those cigarettes taste afterwards.
While I am on a rant, let me also say a few words about medical marijuana.
In the past three days, my dad has eaten one bowl of porridge, a cheese sandwich and a slice of quiche. He is a bag of bones. What he needs is to get his appetite in gear so that he can get some nourishment. It is no business of any government to interfere with this, and we will do what ever we need to do to help him. It is an issue of basic humanity and I beg you to support any organisation and vote for any legislation that works to this end.
Im sorry if this blog entry is a downer. I will lighten things up soon, but these are a few things that I needed to get off my chest.
Thanks.
