The TOO dump thread

[triple_duece]

No he stays in the pool house next to us. I went over Saturday morning to give him breakfast and he was on the floor next to the couch and couldn’t get up. The door was locked (he locks it every night along w the dead bolt), I sprinted to the house to get a key. Went inside and tried to help him up and the pain was too bad. I called for an ambulance.

Shit, just getting caught up and hated to click on this post. Hope he heals well TD, definitely thinking of him.

Visiting now at lunch time on duty. They got him to walk today in the room and I’m trying to set up skilled nursing for his rehab. Dr said 3 months.

Damn, Nick. How old is he? Looks younger than I thought.

Will be 82 in November.

He looks great for 82. Hope his recovery goes well!

Hope gets better soon

Well for the record let me say I hate this thread!

Dad is coming home today on hospice. All the rehab facilities blackballed him so we will be taking care of him.

On another note, we dodged the hurricanes and the one currently in the gulf will most likely be worse than Katrina and splitting Texas and Louisiana tonight at a cat 4 maybe 5. Will probably go through my state reaching arkansas as a cat 1. Day a prayer for those people.

Today I’ve been coordinating a deployment team to arrive after the storm. Several usar teams are there and also other entities. I usually go but my position now has me coordinating everything. We will be sending 16 personnel as a team and have a backup team to relieve them at some point. All I got for now [emoji2373]

Sorry to hear that bud, I'll keep y'all in my thoughts.

Prayers all around for you guys

Fuck man

Don't forget to take a moment for yourself. Even if its just a second at a stop sign. Those are the moments that keep the rest of the day going.

Hope all goes well with your dad's transition. Wishing you and your team all the best in this hurricane. Stay safe

Sorry to hear, man. Thinking of ya’ll

Just had a nurse come check him and his meds. They will come back tomorrow also as we asked for someone to come everyday for now so we will have help while we evaluate our situation. Left him for half an hour as he dozed off. Come in w the nurse and he has already ripped the catheter out. He’s one bad dude. Anyway it’s one day at a time. Thanks for the well wishes. Even though I hate to talk about it I appreciate y’all listening as it’s good to get off my chest. It’s easy to feel alone during these times. We are weathering the storm, in more ways than one. Y’all stay safe and tell your loved ones often that you love them. Thanks again.

Hang in there, we all are thinking of you and your family through all of this. Be safe with the hurricane as well.

 

[finelyshedded]

Hang in there man! Sorry to hear that these hurricanes are hitting you while your plate is already overflowing. Stay safe brother! May God watch over all of those effected by these storms and help those like you helping on the front lines.

Hang in there Trip. This thread is for exactly what you are dealing with. Get it off your chest and move onto a new day. I appreciate the civic duties you perform and I can appreciate the position you're in with your dad.

Been dealing with the blues in regards to my dad lately. He's been gone over 3 years now. We are still sitting thru his garages. Gets a little better every time we go thru and organize/pitch. Still a lot to go thru. Everytime I hit it there are piles of memories I am sorting thru as I organize tools, screws, nails, lumber, random stuff. Sorting the tools tends to be the easy part.

 

[triple_duece]

We didn’t get any effects from the hurricane. A couple hunting buddies lost their houses, others weathered the storm mostly unscathed.

I liked that, but only half of what you said.
