in the care home my mom is in, many are zombies, they don't know where they are, what their doing, they just sit there all day, everyday. and slowly one by one they die.. my misses said if she ends up like that to shoot her
when my mom had her break down, i was told to go and see her asap in hospital, a doc and nurse from a&e took me to a room (been here b4 so i knew what they were going to say), they told me, she had little chance of pulling thru, she was in a coma and had a stroke. and said there was nothing they could do for her, and ICU wouldn't take her, so later that day, she ended up on a ward where ever they had a free bed, i take it to die.
but they wanted permission off us, if she got worse, then they would just let her die, they told us it was the best thing for her, she could have suffered brain damage etc, i didn't know what to do, but my brother said, no way you do everything you can for her, no way you will let her just die.
the consultant on the ward she ended up on, told us she was in a serious state, but he would do all he could for her, thanks to him and the nurses they were able to stabilize her, she was still in a coma, my misses said she would come out of the coma in 3 days, after sitting with her for most of the 3 days, watching the heart monitor rise and drop, wondering if she would pull thru, on the 3rd day she started coming around, they had manage to bring her back fron near death, weeks pasted in hospital as she slowly recovered, while in hospital, she broke her hip, colasped, caught a serious bug... and looking back those in a&e were wrong she didn't have a stroke, i even told them, i had seen her moving here arms and legs..
but 2 years later shes doing ok, and it was her birthday on the 7th of dec, shes 79 now.. just wanted to say no matter how bad things seem, still have hope...
