kadollanAs many of you already know, my father ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nman_in_black is very ill. He's been moved to hospice care, and from what I understand he is being treated now only for pain and to make him comfortable. From what my sister said, he is no longer on an IV, (although come to think of it, if he isn't on an IV, how is he getting pain meds? I should check on that) and the attempt to put a feeding tube in failed. His kidneys are functioning at around 30-35%. I've been expecting a phone call at any time. He's dying. I don't know how much longer it will be, whether hours or days.
I can't figure out how I feel. Numb and calm and angsty and and regretful all at once. I asked him what kind of prayers he wanted and he said "Thanksgiving."
Yeah. I can do that.
