ever since i was a little boy my father always limped , "bad knees" , so finally in February we talked him into getting one new knee for starters . He has been getting bladder infections for years & the doctors just keep giving him antibiotics , that he's been on for years . He has had a greenish / grayish complexion for the last couple of years also , i said to him on several occasions that his color is not good , he Say's the doctors tell him its because he doesn't get much sun , i would say , neither do i , so in February they scoped his bladder & its full of cancer , so they operate , they said they could not get it all & its urethral cancer & the most lethal kind of cancer that their is ! So they start giving him radiation treatments , after a couple of weeks of this , he starts getting an open sore just below his stomach , my mother is taking care of & working full time , a visiting nurse comes twice a week , my mother says this sore doubles in size every couple of days , my mother said a couple of days ago that its now bigger than an apple & its on the outside of his body , she calls Friday night and says some of it fell off onto the floor while he was in the bathroom . So on Saturday me & some of his closest friends from the fire company go over to see him , when we walk it , theres the smell of death in the house , my mother said that this thing smelled , but i had no idea how bad , so we all hung out with him & look at pictures of past fire & competitions , & laughed a lot , it was great , then when everyone left , my mother wanted me to see this cancer hanging out of his body . She uncovered it & i couldn't believe my eye's & the smell now was unbearable ! I walked out of the room & then went back in to look at at again , i thought i was seeing things , its bigger than a flattened out apple & it looks like a black collie flower thats oozing fluids & blood , my mother says that when he stands up the thing bleeds all over the floor ! She has to clean it twice a day & the pain hes in is horrific ! The doctors have stopped all the treatments & said theres nothing more they can do . How is this man not in the hospital ? & how is this modern medicine ? He start hos pis sometime this week & his days are numbered ! What a way to go ! All we wanted was for him to get new knees so he could be as active as he used to be , now we will never get the chance . HE IS THE GUY IN " MY ALBUMS " LEANING ON MY STOCK CARS IN VICTORY LANE . THANK GOD FOR PICTURES ! PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR HIM !
