Doc said only two weeks to live

Last night I got an sms from my old friend that his dad will not last more than two weeks. That's what the palliative doc said to them. The last few times I saw Uncle James was in hospital. The silver cord could be severed  sooner :-( May be even before the week runs out.

The presentation is similar. I have been here many times already. 

The family is severely stressed, but I think they will hold up and eventually stand together. 

I have never gotten so many bad news in such a short span of time over the CNY. I think half of them are caused by an ageing population after discounting a friend viciously mugged up north and her young sister in law fighting terminal cancer.
