Edited to add. I'm not freat at posting links. So I thought I would add a little context. This is a reddit post with a lot of information for Maine residents on fighting back, ice staging areas and tactics.

When he lost in court regarding removing the national guard from blue cities.
Their new duty stations are now in Venezuela cities.

It's going to be a long night

Tomorrow we have an appointment with hospice for my son. He is out of options for his ACC cancer and can no longer control his pain with pain management. This is going to be a very long night.
He has a fear of hospital and will not go.
We spent Sunday night in the emergency room due to a fall from fainting.
Please send good vibes our way.

Edit to add: hospice nurse has been here and started him on different pain meds set him up with a social worker, cna, chaplain and other services. She will be back tomorrow to check on him. She also got him a wheelchair so he can get out more (he has had a few falls lately). He feels someone is actually listening to him in regards to pain and anxiety.
Once again DU has got us through difficult times. Thank You Thank You Patricia

Need some good vibes

Having a very bad day. Awhile back I posted about my son's ACC cancer. It's back and there are no further treatments. Cancer doc said it was time for palitive care. It is skull base and infiltrating his orbital nerves affecting his sight and he can no longer drive. He lives in Washington and I'm in the Sacramento area
I traveled to take him to his doc appointment and bring him home with me. So we can help him with medical needs. Packed up his car to make the trip down. We got as far as klamath Falls and the transmission went out, quote to fix was more than 8 grand (thanks tfg). So am in a hotel waiting for hubby to get to pick us up.
So good vibes would be greatly appreciated
Thanks P

I want to thank all of you for the outpouring of love, prayers and positive vibes. You kept me calm while waiting for hubby (lame54) to arrive. Thank you again.
Edited to add:

We are finally on our way home. Once I get him settled in, we will start the process of transferring his medical care. The one good thing about this cancer is it is slow growing. So we still have some time. The only functions he has lost is site in one eye, but still has blurred vision in the other and hearing in one ear. This cancer sets up shop in the nerves making it difficult to treat but slow progression. He was diagnosed in 2016 with two surgeries and two rounds of different types of radiation.
We knew the time would come when no further treatments would be available.

I want to thank you all for being there and getting me through a very difficult time
Bless you all and I will keep the cancer group updated as to his progress.

Need some advice

My ex passed away Friday morning in Carson NV. Our disabled son who lives with me was notified since he listed as next of kin. He has four children and all are in agreement on division of assets equally.
We drove up from Sacramento to make arrangements and secure his property.

Unfortunately my ex does not have a will and we are unsure if his estate needs to go through probate. From what we know it is under 100k.
We thought we might petition the court to set aside probate.
Not sure how to get legal advice or an attorney we can trust. It is such a small estate that could be eaten up by fees.
My children are not financially well off.
Our youngest is has been disabled since he was a child and our middle son is battling ACC cancer.
My question is has anyone in this forum gone through this or could recommend a law firm.
Thanks for listening. P

Acc Cancer

My son has been battling this insidious cancer since 2016. He has had two surgeries and two types of radiation. Unfortunately he is having the same symptoms he had in 2022 when we found out his tumor was once again growing he had gamma knife radiation and it seemed to stop the growth, with some shrinkage This cancer travels along the nerve endings and finds another path for tumor to grow. He is having an MRI on October 24th. Asking for healing vibes.
Thanks P
