Well good. There should have been cake though.

Living my dream, or rather my nightmare. So lots of PoHoMoJo for all Yoshidas.
Well damn Gary. I’m so sorry.
Seniors tend to allow themselves to get dehydrated. That might be adding to what’s complicating your grandfathers health.
90? And driving? At night? No no no. Take away the keys. You’re folks need to take control. It’s time.

Also, dehydration was ruled out. They both have hydroflasks and drink water often. I think it's just getting close for grandpa's time to go. It's hard. They've been as big a part of my life as my parents.
I never have cake for my birthday. We do something fun, go to a restaurant for dinner. Family is under STRICT instructions to NOT mention my birthday to the restaurant staff. No party with the extended family. I just like the day for me and Sheryl and the kids.
I'm glad you see that - does your dad? You said he's getting angry because it feels like the docs are just trying to make Grandpa comfortable due to his age...but I'm sure it's not just his age. There is the whole cancer thing...
I'm sorry Gary - it sucks to see a loved one fade, especially when they're mentally with it. There's not much to be said but that we love you and wish you (and the family) didn't have to go through all this.
All it takes is one time at Chevy's, wearing that ridiculous sombrero and having the entire restaurant singing an off key rendition of Happy Birthday in Spanish for you to hate all restaurant celebrations.
Our favorite Mexican restaurant does HILARIOUS birthday celebrations (unintentionally). Their "in house" birthday song is SO off key (and sung in Spanish by unenthusiastic waiters) and then they sing Happy Birthday, similarly off key. But it's hilarious because it's happening to others, not me.

We are in Brown County safe and sound.
