So, I need to make this short because, life. So excuse the things left out.

After our family Sunday dinner my step-dad had a fall in his bedroom. We couldn't get him up,.emts couldn't, ended up needing firefighters to get him off the floor. Ultimately, he was OK after and even moved around with his walker, seemed in pretty good spirits.

Later last night, in the middle of the night, he went down again. Had a fever. After 20 minutes working on him the emts got him loaded for the ambulance and we brought him into the hospital.

A foot wound he was being treated for for weeks has gotten into the bone, and, the docs say he has sepsis.

He passed this afternoon. One minute happy, talking with a nurse. Then instantly he was gone, and, they couldn't bring him back.

So I'm off at mom's place. We've got a lot to suddenly do considering how quick and surprising this is. Thursday I'm supposed to hear if my blood work showed philadelphia gene or not. So fingers crossed. Happy birthday week.

But, if anyone messages or asks about stuff I've got posted free or for sale, gets upset about response lags? Please point em here. But everything that was paid for or had money coming is already in the mail. Appreciate the understanding most of y'all give.

O. D. Showtime - if you need to sell those hubcaps elsewhere it's fine. Don't have my computer or account info stuff with me. Not sure how many days to get back to things, but, if they're around at that point I'd take em and get things sent to you.

Hoping for the best already on Thurs before this all came up, so, we'll see.

Thanks guys.

Sepsis is a hard one to get through. It took my mother.
That being said, sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

So sorry to hear. Well wishes to you and all your family. Don't worry about the car stuff. It never goes anywhere when you're not doing it. Pick it back up when you feel like it again. Take care.
