Just got off the phone with him. He sounded his old self and he was eating something, which, phew is a massive relief. They moved him to intensive care, which at first had me worried, but it sounds like the right move if he's sounding so much better. Still not out of the woods obviously, but the good karma y'all sent helped.

He thinks it was the new chemo treatment, and like someone had told me, chemo really weakens your immune system, so that's probably how he got the pneumonia.

sending all my extra energy into willing into being him walking out of the ICU and immediately giving you the house and a high five

God I wish, but from what I looks like I'm going to be on the receiving end of them selling the house and me having to try and figure something out.

I know 😔 sorry if that was a jackass thing to say, that wasn't my intention. I just meant if this woowoo nonsense works well im tryin it for ya

It's fine. Someone on here had some good advice though with the money from selling the house and the will, maybe getting my own home, not quite sure the specifics of it, but there might be a way with me being low to no income.

There were some programs in the past. Not sure how it is now given the situation. But def look around. The big thing is if you can get help with a down payment. The only reason we have a house is because of some rural program that lumped the down payment into the cost. Or something like that.

Oh, it looks like you're going to get part of the money from selling it? If so, that's good, my impression from your past posts was that you were basically getting cut out. Not that it isn't shitty still that they're gonna sell it out from under you, but it's definitely much better for you to at least get something from it, y'know

Yeah, and I also get my dad's car, so if worst comes to worst I have a car I can sleep in

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh nice, ya that's a plus. I'm really glad dude like i really thought he was setting you up for nothing but getting kicked out. Again, it's still not ideal, but still way better than i thought

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago

[–] ourtimewillcome@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

[–] haxboar@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Best wishes! It's tough to see people on chemo, so here's to hoping he's on the mend!
