Probably but not in the way you are thinking. We went to the Hatfield McCoy riding area in West VA and I rolled my 4 wheeler down a mountain. I broke some ribs and did some damage to my neck. But the lucky part is I am alive. The 4 wheeler went end over end down the Mountain some 100'.

Well, my wife's parents have finally come to the same conclusion regarding my dumb-*** BIL that we have.

It's time for a family exit plan to disconnect from him. Since the liver transplant he has reverted to being the same dumb-*** he was that got him into the situation where he needed the transplant in the first place. He is eating his opiate pain killers like candy forcing the hospital to put him on methadone, belligerent and demanding toward his caregivers, ungrateful for all the financial help (running into the 10s of thousands of dollars), refuses to rest or take his care plan seriously...and more. Facing imminent death for 3 years waiting for a liver apparently made no dent in his selfish pea brain.

Last Friday he nearly OD'd on his insulin (because he screwed it up and didn't eat) and then after being found unconscious in a neighbors car by the police and rushed to the hospital, demanded that we come get him, take him home and get new keys made for his apartment (that is in my name and I pay for) since he lost them somewhere.

Enough is enough. 3 years of our lives and over $30k giving him a second chance and he has no respect or real gratitude for any of it. I only agreed to do this for his (my wife's) mother and she is one now seeing the light and being the one pulling the plug.

I always said that I would make sure nothing happened to him while his Mother was alive...but now she is ordering the end of it and I am more than happy to execute her wishes to cut him off permanently. No more Beno, the Godmother has ordered your exile from the family.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.


I think that phrase applies very well here. You and your family have done everything you can for him from the sounds of it. Time to just let him sink or swim on his own. He obviously doesn't understand just how lucky he is. Such a shame .
 
Scuffed it with some 1500 yesterday, got the first compound cut done now need to run around it with polishing compound and do a hand glaze. Painted the t-tops and mirrors last night. Tightened up the bumper covers yesterday. Start putting stuff back on it today. They had me order weatherstrips(thought they had them ordered already). So I'm hoping Friday on those and get the car wrapped up by the weekend.

They came to the house last night to bring me the other wheel, I been moving it around on a flat spare.

The grin on his face priceless. He is floored how good it looks. His wife told us some bad news last night. When he was doing chemo for the lung cancer he ended up with pneumonia and evidently the damage is pretty bad even though he's clear of the cancer. The wife hasn't told him what the doctors have said. All he has on his mind is the car and hes really excited about it, and better for him to be in that state of mind.
