Return to the Planet of the "Hey Euro's its that time again" Thread.

Fuck my life... To continue the trend of 2019 to be filled with extreme highs and lows, the GF is in NL to teach a course at her old BA for a week. This morning I get a call that her grandma, who also stayed at her dad's place after they all went to her dad's gig last night, tumbled down the stairs in the very early morning. Trauma helicopter, the whole shebang. Now she's in an artificial coma, cracked skull, all kinds of bleeding. They're going to stop the artificial coma tomorrow and then it's fingers crossed if/how she'll wake up. Meanwhile the GF's dad's banging himself up for not having done any of the hypothetical (and completely irrelevant and unrealistic) things that could have been done to avoid this and feels extremely guilty for the whole thing happening in his house. I feel bad for the grandma, but she's extremely stubborn and would've waved away any attempt at diminishing the risk of this happening anyway... It's so sad for the GF's dad that this had to happen to him...

I really need a REFRESHING LAGER BEER now...

Had one beer and was so tired I went to bed :messedup:

Anyway, I don't really think there's any option here that provides a "good" outcome, I just hope things end up giving everyone the right kind of closure and peace with the situation.

It's mostly very frustrating, if she'd just got sick and passed away (or just passed away out of nowhere), everybody, including herself, would've been okay with the situation. Now it just feels so stupid and unnecessary.

Thanks for the good wishes all :)
 
Shit man that doesn't sound good mate.

Here's hoping whatever happens, your GFs dad doesn't lay the blame on himself once he's settled down and started processing it properly.
 
Meh, GF's grandma passed away this morning, before they even had a chance to end the artificial coma...

At least they found out she had a heart irregularity that probably caused her to lose blood pressure entirely on rare occasions, which is the likely culprit for the fall, so I hope that keeps the GF's dad from feeling overly guilty a bit.

So sorry to hear that. My sincere condolences :(
 
Finally admitted to myself that my last band is not going to get revived. Found an advert for a vocalist/guitarist position for a classic rock covers band based nearer to home, applied and now have to prep for an audition in a week or so. Been awhile so wish me luck.

As the Yanks say: You got that!
 
Summer arrived here as well, quite nice.

Feels weird sitting here working while the GF's grandma's funeral is going on in NL... I'll have a good glass of whiskey to her tonight...

@Gorgon90 good luck with the audition!
