I'm sorry I haven't kept everyone up to date on what's going on with him. He was in the hospital for 2 weeks and the insurance decided they'd rather pay for a nursing home. The insurance offered to cover the nursing home stay, or cover nothing. :doah: He was in so much pain that we really had no choice. The hospital brought in a social worker to explain it all to Dallas since his "children" were too "busy" to come see him and explain it. :cussing: Dallas agreeed to go and not fight, but said he only requested they send him to the one where all his friends were and that the hospital inform his pastor and his wife (aka. Preacher and Mrs. Preacher, as Dallas calls them)
Dallas was in a lot of pain the day he was moved to the nursing home. He cried all the way there (a 45 minute trip!). He kept telling my dad that he was sure everyone was going to forget about him now. My parents and brother go to visit him on a daily basis. Because of the distance Justin and I only get over there every 2 weeks. I feel awful for not visiting more, but we can't afford to right now. I'm so angry that his kids still haven't been to see him.
Dallas is healing very slowly, we aren't sure if he'll ever be back on his feet. Also he is very depressed and feeling like the family has abandoned him. He definately needs some rays to help him start healing. :pray:
Rays and prayers going up! (I've sent you a PM as well.)
I sent you one back! Thanks so much, you made my day! :heart:
Many prayers and healing rays are on their way to Uncle Dallas....It is so sad that his children have not been to see him..... SHAME ON THEM!!! Don't feel bad yourself, you are doing all that you can to visit him. God Bless Uncle Dallas and your family for going to see him on a regular basis!!
We´re so saddened to hear this. It´s a blessing he has you two every two weeks and the company of your parents more often, but must hurt him so much not to have the comfort of his own offspring. A great pity and something I´m sure they´ll live to regret.
Please don´t feel guilty for not seeing your Uncle more, I´m quite sure he understands and appreciates both the commitments you have and the time you spend with him. We will keep sending rays of support and hope things get better all round.
On a brighter note, it´s a relief to see Porky is feeling perkier, even a little prone to naughtiness, he - and you - brighten our days many a time. Thanks for caring so much about everybody. It´s time you had some good breaks and a good rest too.
Love
Red, Islay and mama Andrea.
I really hope everyone makes sure to visit him. Nothing is more sad then not having visitors. I used to get bombarded when i would visit my grandmother because so many people were forgotten by their families.
Im sure you wont though!! Will Porky be able to visit?
I'll be keeping Dallas in my prayers and hope that his kids will come around to see him. Rays for healling coming his way.
