Herroooo...

I have not fallen into a bourbon oblivion :)  I have been really busy with clinical rotations, though, so I have not been my usual persistent blogging self.  

I do have to sadly tell you all that my pop pop (grandpa) did pass away this past Wednesday.  On Tuesday, we had the tough decision as a family to decide on removing the ng-tube and other medical issues.  It is really hard to find just the right answer in choosing medical care for a loved one as well as balancing the quality of life issue.  Hence, the bourbon night.    

That same night I had a dream that my Pop Pop starting talking to me.  (I have lots of vivid dreams, and I often predict events, answer questions, talk to people, etc... in my dreams- kinda weird).  Anyways, I asked Pop Pop if we were doing the right thing- that I wanted to make sure we were doing what he would want, and since I had him talking, I needed the answer.  The dream was so real.  

On Wednesday they removed the tube and moved him to hospice.  I am happy to say that he took his last breath with his sons surrounding him and talking to him.  Of course my dad is sad- it has been hard on him.  And, what is hard on him is hard on me.  I don't want to belabor on this topic- we have all lost loved ones, and it is natural for us to see our grandparents pass away.  The funeral is Monday, and I am doing okay.  :)      

I hope everyone is having a great weekend- as always, thank you to my friends for their support.
