My cousin Jim who is only 53 and probably the coolest person any of you might ever meet (Corvette freak, for example, I thank him for turning me on to these) has been diagnosed with several cancerous tumors and is in the hospital now.
The dumbass doctors in his small hick town thought that he only wanted more pain pills and so they never properly diagnosed his illness nor gave him enough pills to dull the pain. I will be helping his wife find a proper lawyer when the dust settles.
At least he is in a "big city" hospital now and feels his pain is being properly treated. Said his pain is now 2 to 3 on a scale of 10 when before it was 20 or 30! He is a man's man and it only made him miss his second day from work from his employer in over 20 years before they made him check into the hospital... so if he was complaining about feeling pain I just know it's gotta be really bad.
I am so sad about this it's unbelievable. He's always been the big brother I never had on so many occasions... (I'm the oldest in my family and 44). I can't even begin to tell you how much his good nature and just being there has meant to me. Always with the kind word... His family and my aunt's family grew up together so it's all super close family to me. It's hard.
Prayers for my excellent cousin Jim would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any kind words.
Sorry to start a sad thread like this but I am very bummed about all of this and don't have anywhere else to vent. Thanks for reading this.
