TheBanyanTree: Cecil

[paul]

I'm not good at a lot of things, for example, telling someone "I love 
you".

I joined Spoon a bit before May 1996 and I soon met a lot of people. 
It's pretty simple... get a computer, add e-mail, find Spoon through a 
blurb in "The Scout Report", and you have instant friends.

Cecil in person is just as nice and warm and friendly as on the screen. 
   Taller than I had imagined, but.  The man ain't got a fake bone in 
him.  Even if he is a Lyin' Sum Bitch Phony Texan.  LSBPT, or something 
like that.  :)

So, anyway, his e-mail addy is longhorncecil at comcast.net and the mailing 
addy if ya want to send wishes is
3800 14th Ave. S.E. #D179
Lacey, Washington  98503


Dear Cecil, the first sentence above applies to you.

hugs,

paul

No easy way to say it, why the doctor was very blunt in informing me
that Cecil is dying.  Tests show that his lungs are completely gone, 
right lung filled with fluid, the Albuerol helps but must also be on 
another nebulizer with a medication that dries fluid in the lungs, but 
there is nothing else that can be done for him except to be sure that 
there is no infection which has cleared up.

Doctor was amazed that dad is being cared for at home but a facility
will only be when things are beyond our control to give dad the care
he needs at home and too weak to get out of bed. He is already too
weak to cough up phlegm or most of it and why he must be on two
nebulizers with two medications to help with that problem.

Glad my brother flew up here to assist, lot of odds and ends to tie
up in gettlng settled in Washington with insurance and other issues,
but I may try to take dictation for dad like a secretary or have his
new nurse do this for him, dad is being evaluated on the 10th to see
just what level of care is needed before assigning someone to him who
can do the job or multiple jobs and must be a women, he still likes
to flirt at 93 and be a dirty old man.

Dads other book was a story called "The Farmer In The Well" that was
published in a mystery magazine (Elery Queen) and purchased by a
production company in England for $10.00.
My book is mainly for war vets with PTSD, only reason why I consented
to writing the biography after ten years of people bugging me to do
this. PDF version is at

All is one day at a time here as there is just no telling when that
day will arrive.

Dad misunderstood Sash, thinking she lived here in Washington nearby,
have to break the news that Oregon is a good ways from Lacey, WN so
not to expect company.

Am usually wild and crazy and a bit uncivilized myself but this is is
not the season to be jolly, maybe thankful for sure but here is a
season for evreything.

Keep the letters coming to dad, is a very big moral booster for him,
me or his nurse will pass along things in his own words so you don't
get it second hand from another brain.
