The Schiavo issue

MickeyLumbo · 03-23-2005, 09:21 PM

it was one year ago, THIS MONTH, that i, and i alone, had to make life and death decisions based upon my Grandmother's personal wishes. She and i had frank discussions years ago when she was of sound mind and we had her wishes written in a Living Will and had Power of Attorney papers for me and an advanced directive and DNC orders.

when the time came, it was still a gruelling experience for me and i am reliving those horrible last days with the current events in the news. it is extremely depressing.

what i know is this:

it was harder on me than on my grandmother.

she was as comfortable as possible with morphine while her body shut down after the removal of food and water.

she is in a better place.

her wishes where followed.

and no goddamn mother fvkker in a suit looking for VOTES got in between a very personal situation between my grandmother, her doctor and me.

God, i need a drink!
