God bless you all....your great aunt’s age is/was amazing! I hope your dad, and all of you, have a long and happy life together!
Yes indeed. For us all.
Based on the ‘revenge’ of this administration I’m sure freepers are only one car accident away from being denied ICU or critical care beds and/or burn unit beds.
And our extended families as well.
Cue the Valerie Jarret comment about getting back at those who don’t support them...
Her younger sister is still with us as well. Still just as spry and sharp as a tack.
His late great aunt lived alone, independently, until she was 96+. She took a bad fall on some ice, injured her back, and was put in a nursing home due to mobility issues. She declined quickly after that. I feel strongly that had one of her daughters taken care of mama she’d still be around. Most of the rest of that particular line lives/lived to 105 or 107.
But again, for what it is worth, my condolence's.
That is absolutely amazing!
Praying for your Dad and you and your whole family, and that this “death panel” thing is completely ended in this country.
Oh, I believed you.
And it’s not like it will be just ‘unavailable’ for everyone on an equal basis. It will DEFINITELY be used as a political weapon.
Guaranteed none of us will qualify for chemo, ICU beds, cardiac interventions or anything once it becomes enforced.
Thank you.
Please tell tour story to as many people as will listen. It needs to be in the news cycle. Contact any senior citizens organaztions, news media , try www.theblaze.com- Glenn Beck, conservative talk exc..
People need to know about this- especially the parts where they flat out lied, and altered your dads medical record, then they told you , you are "not allowed" to see the records, or change them, if they are incorrect?!
Outrageous!
You can also contact your weasel politicians, and ask them why they exempted themselves from the Obamacare nightmare.
God Bless you and your dad.
I was a loan originator for about five years. It’s one of the first things you find out in that field.
I get my record about once a year. In ‘00 I found a fairly serious error on there. I was down as a cosigner of a loan with my ex. (insane, think about that...) For 25K. I sent two entire divorce decrees to the originating bank to get that cleared up. Nothing ever happened. It was on there until ‘07 when it finally rolled off.
Now, I’m not complaining about that particular error. He paid off a 24m loan in 6m. Boosted my credit score like you wouldn’t believe. LOL.
But if he’d defaulted it would have wrecked my ability to get a job or apartment in the NYC area.
It’s good to discuss DNR with a doctor, but I would not OK DNR unless my loved one was definitely dying.
My Nurse niece was always VERY pro-DNR, but now SHE is even saying do not say you want DNR.
And as I mentioned before, one of the FR physicians also said that OKing DNR now can mean do not treat.
I’m not against DNR per se, but it’s the way permitting it can be used to deny patients treatment that I would be against.
Prayers up.
Thank you.
Still praying for you and your Dad. Glad my Dad’s story helped.
my moms a big believer in “natural” medicine, try something called Valerian Root it’s a natural form of Valium she says, don’t know much, but it seems to help you calm down without being ‘zoned’ out.
I’ve heard of that but haven’t had the nerve to try it. I might though in the next week or so.
I think my hubby’s tried Valerian before. I’ll have to ask him.
Thanks still. We’re all just so worried. And it’s so unnecessary. He should have had this surgery 18m ago. He’d have had half or less the mortality risk if he had.
And so it begins. Prayers that your Dad gets the proper help and that he has a great outcome.
I find myself facing very, very similar circumstances. After a PM from Black Agnes, I think it is time to ask for prayer help for NVA Sr. Thank you.
