A Farewell to a King

Greg was catatonic on his last day. The drugs probably also caused it. Even on IV hydromorphone, he was refusing ostomy and fistula bag changes. So, I requested Ativan. He was probably quite out of it due to never taking anything like that before let alone “hospital heroin”. He was in so much pain. There was no choice really. His friend and I sang to him and I sent her a link to Edgar Winter Group  Frankenstein on Youtube so that she could play it and he would know it was from me.  Then, he left.

I called him “Geggy” when I was little because I couldn’t pronounce “Gregory”. Sometime after we reconnected after Mom’s  death, I started calling him “Gerg”. I put this memorial together using AI music that is based on mine and then remixed. I call him Gerg at the end.
