The Three Musketeers

Not as united as they once were but they were together today...

I drove back this morning to see my dad in hospital. My elder brother had announced that he was driving up to see my dad and that is indeed a rare occasion. The elder one back to see his family!! I knew I had to make the effort to go back so my dad could see 'The Three Musketeers' together. One never knows what might happen... so I went back.

When I arrived in the afternoon both my brothers were there already with my mom. According to the doctor, dad's cancer of the esophagus is not responding to the treatment. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean it's bad coz it is not responding positively and neither is it responding negatively. However, over the many months my dad has developed a brain mass and it has begun to turn septic. The pressure is starting to make his right side paralysed and he's having memory and speech lapses. Other than that he's pretty much the same.

I had a tough time. Hurts to see someone you love like that. Coupled with what I'm going though in life now... it sucks... big time.
