Seems the month for bad news...

So last week my uncle fell off his roof, he broke several bones and tore a major artery to his heart. They had to induce a coma because he'd go absolutely mental if he was allowed to be conscious. So they couldn't operate on his heart. So finally yesterday they did a test to see if there was brain damage. No activity. Wonderful. This evening at 5PM he passed away. Though I'm treating it like he died when brain activity stopped last week sometime.

Anyhow let's make this worse, shall we?

The hospital that they took him to had an outbreak of SARS.

My uncle was on some form of steroids that was destroying his immune system, so he was put into the ICU quarenteen. Great.

Add to this, the family (His two children, his grandchildren and his wife) were put into home quarenteens for exposure to SARS. They're still under this quarenteen.

The hospital doesn't know when they'll be able to release the body, so they're sticking him in a freezer. Wonderful.

Fucking lovely.
