Ronnie update

[Red Beard]

Hey boys, hey!

It's been a little over two months since my in-laws moved into my town. I wanted to provide an update as I have used this as type of journal for quite a few years. You guys are my boys and I love laughing with you.

We have had ups and downs with the process as moving elderly parents is extra challenging. I helped them buy a new car, learned electrical work so we could wire the garage with power (Ronnie is an amateur wood worker) and we made the house handicap accessible (chair lift on the stairs, bars through the house, etc.), and we even got Ronnie to agree to using a walker.

We had our first family thanksgiving in a few years at their new house and the house was filled with family. It was honestly beautiful being all together. Ronnie has had challenges physically as his neuropathy has gotten worse and his heart isn't working like it should.

Monday we had to take him to the emergency room as he was having a hard time breathing. Mother in law is struggling and I have officially taken over their finances to help manage things.

We had snow so I took the day off to make sure everyone was shoveled out and my mother in law could make it to the hospital. I have been trying to be the rock for the family (wife and everyone else). Ronnie is like a dad to me and he said something yesterday that kind of rocked me. He said he didn't think he'd make it to Christmas.


When he first started cancer treatments I gave him a quote my boxing coach gave me one fight where I was way down on the scorecards. "When the sun goes down, the stars come out."

He fought his ass off and honest to God, I am so proud of how he has adapted to his ever-changing normal. I'm praying he keeps fighting and I am ready to be the man of the family of that is what happens.

This shit is rough boys but I just wanted to vent. Keep Ronnie in your prayers.

I thought this was gonna be an update on missing Sherbro @Ronnie911

Great to hear your in law is doing better and keeps on fighting. For old people the mentality is sometimes just as important as physical condition

You're a good guy @Red Beard,one of the best.
Thought and prayer to you and your family.

Best of luck to him, bro. I'll always keep fellow soldiers in the cancer wars in my prayers.

Fuck cancer. With a chainsaw.

Dude I didn't even think of that hahaha

I needed that laugh, bro.

They have been like parents to me. All I want to do is protect them. I appreciate you buddy and careful with the dubs ya silly bastard.

Straight up! He beat the cancer in the scorecards but the chemo did a number on him. He is a legit hero to me.

I came in here to take a fat dump all over you for trolling us about ghost Ronnie but I got to the end of the post and I can't bring myself to take a fat dump all over you anymore.

Sorry to hear about Ronnie. Let him know how important he has been to you before it's too late.

Chemo is a motherfucker. It saved my life, then nearly killed me: it fucked over my immune system so badly, I needed an emergency operation to treat a blood infection in my shoulder. Some of the bone and meat inside the joint had literally died and was rotting.

Give him my best wishes, mate. One cancer survivor to another.

I've shared it recently how much he means to me. I will make sure to tell him again for sure, you are right. Oh you want the update on Sherdog's own, Ronnie????

I appreciate that man and I'm glad you beat that bitch.

Thanks, bro.

I'm as cynical a bastard as ever walked beneath the living sky. My scores for Psychopathy on the Levenson Self Report Test were damn near off the scale. But I consider anyone fighting cancer to be my brother in arms, and they have my full support.

 

[Natural Order]

All the best to you and yours Sherbro. Hoping things turn around for Ronnie. Find comfort in familial love this holiday season.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Hope all goes well, brother.

I just left my mother in laws house and I gave her a speech straight outta a movie. No matter what, we will get through this as a family. I appreciate the kind words. Happy holidays to you and yours.

Hope all goes well, brother.

Thank you my friend. I swear that writing all this out in here helped.

 

[Red Beard]

Update: I talked to Ronnie today and he said something that I loved. "We will be doing the rest of the electrical work soon."

Strongest dude I know...

 

[Fedorgasm]

I'm giving you my thoughts and thoughts.

Since I'm not a believer in prayer I thought I'd better offer twice as many thoughts.

Hope everything works out ok, bro. You know it's going to end whether it's 1 month or 6 months, just cherish the time you have left with him.

Everyone should be so lucky to have a son in law like you.

Thank you so much for these kind words. It's been one of those days or even the strongest Sherdogger is a blubbering fool. I feel incredibly lucky to have in-laws like them. You hear all these horror stories and mine have just been supportive and loving.

Thank you man. My goal of this thread is to not only vent, but also to outline to all my bros that being not okay is always okay.

Father Time can be a wicked man. I appreciate you. Potentially he is coming home today with some oxygen but either way, I will be getting take out for the family and we are setting up the Christmas tree that he picked out. I know he will love that when he gets back home.
