"If you set a ham sandwich in front of her, could she eat without ANY help?...as in on her own? She may have a rudimentary ability to suck like a baby, but that is a long way from the "she can eat" claim."

I've been lurking on threads concerning Terri; you have been very busy on them, haven't you. Say, what if you fell down a cliff and your body below the neck is trapped by a huge rock; you cannot move your body, you are stuck.

Your brain continues to function and feels the hunger and extreme thirst. Such extreme thirst that drove my hubby to drink dirty muddy water without the idodine tablets that landed him in a coma for three days in Nam.

Oh, but there is a way out of your misery. A group of hikers happened by and found you. They have food and water, but alas, you are not able to reach out and take what they are offering you, due to your injuries. All you can do is "suck like a baby."

Should they come to your aid and help you take some food and water until more help arrived to free you from under the rock, or disregard you totally since you cannot reach out and take the food and help yourself?

Oh I know, the person who alledgely pushed you over the edge of the cliff should have a total say in what should be done for/TO you.

Yeah, thats the ticket! He couldn't eat even if they slapped him up the side of the head with a ham sandwich adn remember, George Felos said the litmus test should be if you can bring spoon to mouth!

That was a nice story, you should write professionally.

Doesn't prove a dang thing, but it was a nice story.
