****ing alternative medicine/Big Pharma conspiracy ass holes!!!!!!! (hmmm I may have already mentioned this in this thread previously now that i think about it:P)
Why I find it less than trivial today is that my estranged Father in law is literally being slowly killed by his Crusty German partner.
He has a rare form of liver cancer which he was, of late, doing very very well against. My wife visited him the other day and he has seriously relapsed. He is so ill that he should probably be in hospital but his idiot partner has convinced him that her concoctions of nettles and herbs and such are better for him and that he is better off removed from "Commercial medicine".
Wife literally pleaded with them to get into the chemist for some invalid/high calorific value food as his weight has plummeted and then to get to The GP NOW (She has a medical background and knows what she is on about).
One week later and this has not been done, the herbal, honey, cinnamon and nettle crap is still going in and crusty has him on sports drinks. Sports drinks are just about the best way to kill someone with a liver condition!
Christ i honestly feel like machine gunning every crusty in Leitrim!!!!!
That's shocking.
''Christ i honestly feel like machine gunning every crusty in Leitrim!!!!!''
I don't blame you
Is there a district nurse attending your f.i.l who might be able to intervene and at least see that he gets the invalid food supplemet stuff? If he has no contact with any medical people now could you contact a district nurse or maybe social worker and see if they could do anything? x0 -

I honestly dont know. As i said the relationship between him and my family is strained but my wife has not severed all ties. That said her influence is limited. Her dad is not old or stupid but as with any possibly terminal illness there is a desperation there and where theres desperation then Quackery/religion/hokum will flourish!...
He has promised to go to the GP today but the poor old Doc is exasperated. He has warned him over and over that many many things can actively block or interfere with cancer treatment. The cancer specialist has stressed this over and over also . Then German/Leitrim crusty bitch convinces him that they are merely saying this as part of 'the conspiracy' and goes back to home prescribing and bull sh1t.
Scrap that. lets just nuke Leitrim!0 -

Skyping with parents:
Mum: Hey darling, how is it going, you look very pale, are you sick? You should come home.
~ I've been pale my whole life + it's the light.
You had a soup for lunch and scrambled eggs for dinner!? You should come home.
You're not happy in your job, you should come home.
Oh god, is it raining again? It's lovely here today, you should come home.
You don't have a boyfriend, you should come home.
What about holidays this year? You should come home.
Dad passes by:
Hey kid, you look pale and skinny (he can barely see me), you should come home.
Work ok? You know you can come home. etc.
Every bloody time...
Note:
I appreciate my parents, it just gets a bit annoying. The funny thing is, when I was actually thinking about going back home a few years ago, they completely freaked out

Oh I know and I do appreciate them and love them and all that, I just thought it'll ease off as years'll go by but it seems to be getting slightly worse lately. And I'd love to have a normal chat with them without the 'you should come home/would you not be better of going back home' after every second sentence I let out. I shall pay them a rather long visit again so they'll be glad to see the back of me, that usually works for a bit 0 -

Yes, that works for sure, also mention the amount of crap you know possess, and wonder where it will all fit when you return home.;)0 -

I live in the same city as my parents but I'd only go home once every two or so months for a day or two. I usually meet my mother for coffee and lunch every few weeks so I knew she was busy in work, working long days from 8am to 10pm for over a week. After about a week of this I got a Skype call from my father who was looking very morose. They use Skype to contact my sister in Edinburgh and my brother in Dublin but seeing as my father works from home he was obviously getting lonely at home with my mother being so busy.
"How are you?"
"Ah sure I'm grand."
"Been up to anything?"
"I've been cycling the past few days, I might cycle out to you when I build up some stamina, refill the water bottle."
"Oh that'd be nice. I suppose I'll leave you go. "
Poor lonely fella. He was like a sad puppy.0 -
