West Texas | My brother passed on last night. He always said that he would work until he died and after 73 years, 4 months and 14 days he, pretty well did just that. I mentioned before that he was injured back in October when a broken telephone pole fell on him. During the treatment, cancer was discovered in his lungs and lymph nodes. I the days since then, we now know that he had not been feeling good for well over a year but he would not go to the Dr because he felt that he was needed more on the job than taking off to go to a pill pusher. By the time that the cancer was discovered, there was nothing the Drs could do for him other than just keep him comfortable. For all of you, if you, a family member or a friend just don't feel right for very long, go get checked out. A physical and an x-ray a year or two ago could very well have had different results. |
