Kevin Carr's Gloves 3808 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I fucking hate inconsiderate cunts, I went to Morrisons and saw a big white van had parked across 3 disabled spaces. I was totally fuming and forgot to take my phone in which had my list, I went back out and two lads were getting in said van. I casually pointed out that they were no good vagabonds doing a disservice to the planet and one replied back with a makem accent. At which point I may have lost my temper a little. I ended up getting escorted back into morrisons by two old ladies who had parked in a disabled bay who also gave the two arseholes a piece of their mind. I'm still quite vexed at the situation. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4365 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) She did effectively call Corbyn a nazi and it did make her look stupid. If that effects her reputation then its fair enough. I'd be fucked off if I was the person who lost. Edited December 20, 2021 by NJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Tbh the amount of shite she spouted about Corbyn I wouldn’t be surprised if she finds her self of the receiving end of such a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21215 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 This year can just get to fuck. My Dad has been told he has a choice of having his leg amputated, and probably be bed bound in pain for the rest of his life, or he can be left to die now drugged up on morphine. I'm seeing him tomorrow and will have to talk it through with him. I feel like I'm losing it, what do I say? Why the fuck does it have to end like this? I don't want this choice, and I don't want him to have this choice. Everything is so fucked up. He hasn't seen my kids since August, he'll probably never get to see them ever again now (only one person allowed to visit him at a time). The truth is he's already given up and I can't help him. I'm so sorry this has happened to you Dad. I just want to remember you as you were just a few months ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44242 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Ah man, I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this, and sorry that your dad is left with this impossible choice. I don't really know what to say, sorry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, just go and listen to how he feels. It’s a lot harder for those left behind. I don’t know your situation but maybe there’s a chance to get him home and see out his time surrounded by those who love him? I went through a similar scenario with my Dad where I wanted everything done to prolong life and in the end my mother decided enough was enough. She was right. No easy answers. Thoughts with you at this very tough time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a Catholic. Really dreading tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5164 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 That is awful mate. I've no idea what this situation would feel like so I won't try to offer anything other than to say that I'm really sorry you're having to go through with it on top of what has already been a really shit year. Your courage in the face of this is admirable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's any way the amputation doesn't have the worst case scenario that you've described then I would hope for everyone's sake that's the answer but it must be a nightmare for you all anyway without this covid shit and it's limitations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42000 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Really feel for you Renton, I went through similar feelings when my Dad died. I had a chat with my two kids when it was clear my Dad was on his way out, and asked them what their best, and last memories of him were- told them to keep those memories, because they wouldn’t want to see , and remember, him as poorly as he was. I’ve got to say that end-of-life care in this country is medieval tbh- my Dad essentially starved to death. We treat dogs more humanely than we do our elderly, since the law doesn’t allow anything else. Take care of yourself mate. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15357 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm glad we have so many wise souls on here because I've got nothing useful to say. So sorry to hear what you're going through, Renton. Don't stop talking about it, sometimes venting is all we've got. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4365 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I think I've mentioned before on here that I don't really like Christmas for personal reasons - I might as well explain a bit in this context that the reason is my dad died at about this time 30 years ago as it happens so I feel your pain Renton though his was relatively sudden. It was my Mam I had the whole end of life experience with when I too came to regret the state of the laws on that subject. It's a shit thing we all have to go through. I think saying it's part of life is a bit too easy even if sort of true but that doesn't make it okay. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17053 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 So sorry to hear Rents , we let our mum go…the doctors gave us a choice, we just couldn’t bare to see her suffer….it was terrible but for the best… 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Whitehurst 885 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Very sorry to hear that Renton and for all the other terrible shit you’ve been through this year. I can’t begin to imagine what your conversation will be like tomorrow but at least your dad has the very best person he could have to talk it through with him. Life is just unfair at times. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I think it's the fact we nominally have a choice that I'm struggling with here, bring back didactic medicine I say, that way I can't be involved in a "wrong" choice!. My Dad is compis mentis so ultimately I will support him 100% whatever he wants to do. He's had a good innings. Just this year with him losing his daughter and all the covid restriction shite, its been so hard. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
