39. I see no chance he will recover

Wed May 24, 2017, 12:45 PM

May 2017

He is abt. 85 years old and spent his life working with his hands. He has no use of his right side or hand as it now stands.

I keep telling him to stay positive and that I know he can improve! He is so very sad! He is all a person could ask for in a BIL and this happened last year.

Thank you for your kind comments and yes, this will likely finish him off and also a few rather very rich people I know too. At $270/day, that is abt. $90K a month or $100,000.00 a year. It gets very real when something like this happens and yes, reality can sure suck!
