Thanks for taking a look at my page. I know there isn't much here
and hope to change that... someday.


I just got a month subscription. Either DA staff finally got their rears in gear and gave me the subscription I was owed since August for participating in the Summer Card Project, or someone is really generous.

To whomever gave me the month subscription,

Damn, what another downer of a week...

This one has some background info that needs to be shared.

One of my Aunts was born with mental handicaps and was considered legally retarded (Back in the day. Nowadays would be considered borderline) and as such wasn't able to be self sufficient, but she had enough competence to have an actual conversation with (albeit slow). she had a sense of right and wrong too.

On May 15th, My mentally handicapped aunt is in the hospital's ICU with a real serious infection (they wouldn't give me more detail on that). Her kidneys were quite weak from kidney stone surgeries, and the strong antibiotics would have shut her kidneys down, so they gave her a lesser-strength antibiotic to help treat the infection and save her kidneys, but this antibiotic has a rare side effect of cardiac arrest.... She flatlined... it took them 8 minutes of resuscitation to get her heart beating again, and brain damage starts around the 5 minute mark; and because she's legally retarded, her brain suffered greatly... The hospital called my Mom and asked for her permission to put a DNR on my aunt...

We haven't heard anything until the 18th, when a close family friend of my Mom and Aunt's called the hospital and told us that she was moved out of the ICU and is doing okay, despite that she suffered a lot of brain damage.

We didn't hear anything until the 21st, and said family friend called the hospital again. My aunt was missing.... MISSING...! Further investigation showed that Aunt was discharged. We were not informed. The family friend was not informed. The residential facility that was taking care of my Aunt was not informed. We were in a panic

Today, on the 22nd, the family friend called, saying that my Aunt has been found... in the hospital's morgue.

The Hospital's. MORGUE

My Aunt has been dead for a couple days already, the hospital told no one, and they were going to ship her to the Downtown Chicago Morgue.

We caught them in time to keep her from being sent to that bureaucratic nightmare, but still... I've just gotten over Dad's death and burial...

Nothing can be done now, although hugs would be nice. I just gotta get through this...

She was one of the nicest, sweetest people around, even if her special needs got in the way. Never held a grudge against anyone.

R.I.P my sweet Aunt, an Original Special Olympian.

Well... it finally happened.. the day I've been dreading has come...

My Dad has died.

Early-onset Alzheimer's and Severe Diabetes is what did him in. He was only 66 years old...

There really isn't anything that anyone can do... only time can heal this wound...
This wound may take a lot longer to heal than most... for obvious reasons...

Please, don't get upset if I don't respond for a while. This is something I have to deal with.

Although... I could use all the hugs all of you can give...

He was a good man. He was quirky, but never had a bad thing to say to anyone.

R.I.P. Dad, your long night is finally over.

Things haven't changed at all on my end, unfortunately, and not
for a lack of trying. However, the recent changes that DA made
to the site are atrocious and insulting; I like the site, but the DA
staff appears to only listen and cater to their "Yes sheep", and
not the people that make up the community that is very vocally
showing their displeasure with the "Core" term. Myself included,
but for a different reason than most. if we all join together and
show the staff what they did wrong, we can actually have them
listen to us, and see what they did actually was not in the best
interest of the site or the community.
