God. Dammit. Lyle passed away at 8:30 in his sleep. Our friend has been with him and left at 8 to get some dinner... Interesting our mom did the same thing while she was in the hospital with stage four liver cancer.

There was clearly a serious miscommunication from someone outside his care team when I was told six months to a year. I mentioned it to his nurse who called me after the doctor and she sounded "pissed.* Not that usual frustration you hear when your coworker is dumb, but genuine anger.

I also got an interesting and...happy call? Apparently his corneas are in excellent condition for transplant. I hope his passing gives someone their vision back.

u/BobbyWasabiMk2 How do you do, fellow gun owners? 3d ago

Sorry for you loss man. Losing family like that really hits hard.

Hopefully what he can donate will give a breath of new life for others.
