cuba trip (and "the cubans" family)
over on hersailnet, (her first time) I've posted a link to a photobucket page and some recollections from "The Cubans" family adventure.
The reason for this coming up now is that tomorrow, Rosa is leaving for LA to be with her father as he enters hospice care.

My condolences for Rosa's father.... I understand, as I've been there myself. My prayers and thoughts go out to her and her family, you included of course.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

A heroic man without a doubt. I hope that the hospice people know just what type of man they are tending to, I know God does.

Some Good News
After having spent more than 2 days with her Dad, the good news is that he will NOT be going into hospice care at this time.
He is suffering from some dementia and is very frail, but alert, animated, responsive and in no pain. He gets along as well as can be expected with the care staff that he states wants to poke him in the arse, and is able to have simple conversations most times.
There is no way he's coming home while salsa dancing, but given his condition, he's not as bad as was expected.
He's recieving very good care, one of her sisters works in a nursing home, Rosa has worked hospice, and they were both very impressed with the level of care, staff, and facility.
When she walked into his room, his first words spoken were:
"Where the hell have you been, and quit drinking that cheap sh*t beer" (she quit drinking a long time ago, lol)
He'll be made as comfortable as possible, without pain and suffering.
Rosa wishes to thank everyone that has posted and welcomes the comments you've all made in these difficult times.
Thank you all very much for your prayers.
Paul & Rosa

Let's hope that bastard in Cuba assumes room temperature long before your father-in-law does. Now that would call for some salsa dancing.

I'm glad he's doing better...
Unfortunately dementia can be a tough disease to deal with.... seeing someone you love slowly waste away like that is difficult. Keep us posted.
