    Dino you are a good and kind man and as I have said you and Southernpride are both better men to know each other and have such a special friendship. That is why it is hard to see him like he is. All we can do is pray for him and Mrs SP and you too -to keep your strength and to keep your spirit alive. Thank you once again for doing all you are for us here on TTR -your 'family' :biggrin_25514: because that is how I feel about the people I have met here.
     
    shriner75, dino6960 and Gears Thank this.

    Thank you, I'm no different than anyone else on here....when it comes to stuff like this I'm a terrible looser:biggrin_25510:....I keep scratching my head thinking there is something more i can do.....but in reality, I'v done all i can...an sometimes dont feel its been enuff. Its in the good lords hands, he an sp will decide how this rodeo will turn out:biggrin_2557: I will say this, sp has not given up, or can anyone say hes fighting it as much as he can.........thank you everyone for your support..he did go for dialisis this morning, so lets see how this turns out, mabey filtering some of them drugs out of him will help:biggrin_25524:

    Dino, I know what you mean about feeling like you've done enuff. But there comes a point when even the most skilled physicians have to stand helpless. Couple weeks back the wife's brother-in-law (i call him that because I don't know the proper term for him and me) underwent a simple surgery. He came thru fine and the prognosis was good. He was dead within 12 hours.

    Someday maybe we'll be granted the understanding of what our lives and those of our loved ones meant in the scheme of things. Until then we can only do the best we can and try to help others along.

    Saying a prayer for both SP and you.

    Sorry its been a few days, I'v been busyer than a one armed wallpaer hanger...but the out look right now as of this morning, the doctors are guessing, the way it is looking in 50 more daays he will go into assisted liveing.:biggrin_25513: ,But mrs sp is looking into the paper work he started for the lawsuit on the drug Avantia. Also I am encourageing her to look into the links American trucker posted...I an strongly talking to her about getting it started now due to we all know how they drag the paper trail out to get things started an approved...The poor women is working two jobs running back an forth to the hospital and dealing with the crap all on her own..so needless to say spare time is little or none....like i said i wish i could do more to help but i have my hands full with this truck....I had exspressed my feeling about this this morning talking with her.....Her words ....( Dont you dare stop what your doing!...Mr.sp would want it this way..keep on trucking..If i need anything i'll let you know)...so this is how i'v been instructed by the boss lol... right now i'm in st joseph ,mo
