Back from the Edge
Lionel is back. It's amazing. That man has a will to live that astounds me. The doctors told his family all his organs were shutting down. He wasn't expected to live. Yet he came back from the hospital this week.
He's not fixed up by any means. In fact he's room-bound - if there is such a phrase. Lionel doesn't have the mobility to walk any further than his shower and toilet, and he lives on the food that's brought to him by Meals on Wheels.
Poor old bugger. He's got a TV to occupy his mind a little bit, but his quality of life isn't much better than the two budgies in that cage inside his room. They haven't been out of the room in months as far as I can tell.
What's that saying? Life sucks... And then you die.
