Dad was in a nursing home for a little over 2 years (put himself in). I could tell stories, both good and bad.
Saddlesore, I'm sorry about your brother - condolences.
Allways outdoors, you don't need to continue attempting to be an ass.
My sister-in-law was diagnosed with meningiomas, breast cancer, and thyroid tumors - all at the same time.
The 2 tumors on her brain (meningiomas) were the size of a golf ball and the size of a tennis ball when found.
After taking care of the more deadly problems, upon surgery, the brain tumors were the size of grapefruits - and had cracked her skull.
Minimal pain involved with them until a few days prior to the surgery.
Things happen, the human body can endure much more than most realize.
