My grandad has about 1-3 weeks left to live, need help dealing with this, any advice/personal stories?

hey everyone. my grandad has small cell lung cancer, and has had it for about a year and a half. now, in just a matter of like 2 weeks, he cant walk anymore, cant pee, so we had a catheter put in, has hospice, and gets a new symptom everyday. lately he is calling the sky home. he is confined to his chair and hospital bed. he is at home. my grandparents live with us. me and my mom are the only ones strong enough to be able to lift him up, because now he is complete dead weight. he cant support himself at all anymore, and cant walk, nothing. we have to pick him up and try to get him stable on his feet while still holding him up, just so he can use the bedside potty hospice gave us. lately he keeps telling us im tired i want to go home. and then he points up after we ask where is home and he points up and says thats home. and he's talking to people that have died a long time ago and having conversations with them, and telling us they are waiting for him to go home. he has at the most maybe 2 weeks. he gets worse everyday. he is my BESTFRIEND and the only man that has been stable in my whole life. He never got to see me drive, im thankful that he's here still for my 18th birthday, but we're losing him. my question is, has anybody else been through this like this? i dont need smart-*** answers like yes people have gone through this. this is the hardest thing ive been through in my life, and ive been through some really really hard times. i need advice on this, or any personal stories?

What would you do if your ex gf sort to confine in you?

My ex recently broke up with her bf.. before she broke up with him. i told her i still had feelings for her and would want to still date her.. well she finaly breaks up with him and since then have been confining in me. Should i still be there for her knowing that she either hurt because she still loves this guy or she hurt just because of the break up. And what are my chances still hanging on whilst she gets over this guy..?

How do i get a Medical Marijuana Card?

I need to know how i would be able to get a Medical Marijuana Card when i live in Illinois. I've heard that I can travel to a few different states that i dont need to live in, and then i can get a card there, but do i have to see a doctor in that state i travel too and then what? Fill out an application for the card in that state? I'm 18 and i also need to know if my disorders would be enough for me to get a prescription from a doctor. I have spherocytosis which also leads to me having Anemia. I have to take Folic Acid everyday for the rest of my life and two years ago i got my spleen removed because it was extremely enlarged since birth and ive been taking penicillin everyday twice a day and i have to do that for the rest of my life also. I also have ADHD and am currently taking 40 mg Vyvanse everyday. All of that stuff, but i also think i have some anxiety issues because there are some times that i feel extremely "trapped" alittle and i cant breathe. Especially when im in a confined area or in large groups of people. Im pretty claustrophobic also. I just need some advice from anybody. I also would not really want my parents knowing either so how do i go about doing that?

Tips on weight loss ?

I am trying to lose thirty pounds not by any certain time limit, but I am replacing two meals with slimfast, and then one normal meal a day. I also take abcuts before meals. I workout to biggest loser and other excercise dvds six days a week, plus stay on the go alot. I am not seeing any results yet though when should I start to see some and what can I do to speed up results. Im one of those people if i dont see results fast I get discouraged and think whats the point of all this hardwork. Any one got any good tips or maybe better dvds I can add to my workouts.

If you had 6 months free, what would you do?

Containing/crating a dog..?

When I leave the house, I gate my big dogs (well big for me) in the kitchen where their crates are. One rescue has separation anxiety so he'll pee in his crate if I close the door, or anywhere else in the house if he's not gated. I can still expect an accident 25% of the time, but it's getting better with this method and at least he's peeing on tile. Not a great solution I realize, but I think this is a marathon and not a sprint issue

Im 30 and I only have 1 year of experience... Will I ever have a decent career?

My entire life I have spent it being a loser, messing up, getting fired from jobs. I have a degree, but it took me almost 10 years to finish! =[ Im really embarassed to give people my resume, people who want to help me out. Im even ashamed to put my profile up on linked in because Im afraid people will know i've been a slacker my entire life. Is there any hope for me to have a good career, to ever have a position of leadership, to do what i love??

I'm looking to purchase a Yuya Shiina cosplay from Samurai Deeper Kyo, but I can't seem to find one. I've check already on ebay, and they have some of the other characters, but not the one I'm looking for. Anyone have any suggestions besides making it myself?

Does he have a crush on me or something?!?

I moved to this school in fifth grade. Now I'll be going into freshman year. During the summer of fifth and sixth grade I went to the school to hang out with my best friend at the time(A girl). On the way there as we passed the gas station, there was a group of the more jock-like guys, who I do not like because they were very rude and judged people A LOT. Yes, we did have jock-ish people at that time, more mild then, though. Story short- we got called losers, fatties, bitches, etc., but went on. They were there when my friend and I got to the park-school thing. They teased us, stole my water, and well, were assholes. I never wanted to see their faces, mainly his. To my surprise, he was in my 6th grade class. Well, I avoided him because of his douche-ish acts. During the year, I progressed into more of a girl.(Within 3 months) Meaning--not to be offensive-- I slimmed out and got 4 inches taller.I was really short, by the end of that I was 5' and 1 half inches. After that was over... I caught him staring at me. That went on for the rest of the school year. While we were at a week long camp(in May), he was in my group, one thing on my mind- oh joy... I told this kid who I joke around with a lot that I, jokingly, hated him, the guy who I'm asking the question about(who I'll nickname 'boy') was behind me talking to a guy. Boy then said, 'you don't hate me, right?'. Confused I said "no.. you're alright." that was odd. On the last day of school, Boy walked up to me blushing and was going to say something, but then walked away.(I know it's long, bare with me!) He has been in 4 of my classes(not including 6th grade) during the course of middle school, and has been my project partner once, and we barely talked to each other during that time, or during middle school at all. Boy still stared and sometimes blushed or smiled. I talked to my very good best friend, who is a gamer and guy, and he said he has only the slightest clue of a yes. My very few female friends say, maybe. I really do not like this guy! He is rude and keeps girlfriends for like 2 months or less. Boy also harshly dumps them 75% of the time. He has been in my dreams a lot, though. Sometimes romantic scenes, and other times I battle him to the death. Thanks for reading through the whole long story. Please answer, and again, thanks!
