Putting my best friend in the nursing home today He lives by himself and fell 8 months ago and broke his lower spine. He was getting better but fell again two weeks ago and broke another vertebra. Now his right leg is not working and he can't walk or stand up. His nephew and I cannot take care of him any more The neurosurgeon doesn't think he can make it through surgery because he smokes and drinks 'A LOT'. He really is in bad shape for a 63 year old man. He only weighs at 125 lbs and is all bent over . Maybe with therapy and good meals he may be able to go back home. He is bullheaded as hell but he is the one that said he had enough and its time for professional help.

I was trying to help him to the bathroom this morning and he fell. I pretty much caught him and fucked my back up LOL.. Anyway, I call 911 and he went to the emergency room where they did X-rays again and he is now being scheduled for emergency back surgery. Hopefully no nursing home like his dumbass general doctor said. They also found a big black mass on his left lung The way he smokes it doesn't surprise me at all . Sure hope his spine bone will take and hold screws ???

True but that’s also the reason why frontiers get explored and amazing shit gets invented/discovered. Different sides of the same coin.

But other dudes stubbornness and defiance had them sailing across treacherous sees on rickety boats discovering new worlds and bringing home riches to theys womens and kids back home, jumping into barely functional winged contraptions and discovering flight and shit.
It's that same fine line courage/stupidity that only men truly manifest. Plus discovering dudes buttholes yo.
In the ER. he kept telling the nurse he wanted a nicotine patch on. She just ignore him and he was getting pissed. I asked him if he was having withdrawn needing a cig. He said NO BUT MAYBE I WILL ... Jesus Christ!!! I told him what does Jesus have to do with it Nurse had to leave the room she was laughing so hard

The mass on his lung is not good. When he was at ER in May 2018 they saw this mass and never followed up on it ????????? It has went from 2mm to 8mm since May. This whole fuckup could be a law suit really
