Thanks for posting -- this brought tears to my eyes earlier -- it must be a horrible feeling to know what is going on and no one will listen.

Prayers and eagles up for Expatguy and Terri Schiavo.

I attended law school with Doug Herr who gained fame in the wheelchair olympics and was on Wheaties boxes. A few years before when he dove into the pool and hit bottom, he knew his neck was broken and he was paralyzed. His brother dove in to save him and Doug begged his brother to let him die. Doug went on to become a national hero, and I believe he is now a succesful attorney.

I don't know Terri Schiavo, but there is a small part of me that can empathize with her. That, I believe, is a huge understatement, one made in all sincerity and with respectful humility.

OMG. How amazingly powerful.
God's plan included expatguy having that experience, so that this appeal could be written.
WOW.
Thanks Dog and Expatguy.

What an incredible story, expatguy. God bless you!
This Terri story has allowed me to relive my own mother's death almost eight years ago. She had a rapidly growing brain tumor, emphysema, and developed sepsis. We knew she was going to die, I just didn't know how quickly. But my mom and I discussed her wishes, and she was very clear that she did not want the inevitable prolonged. She did not want extraordinary measures and asked for a DNR. When her body began shutting down, and she was pretty much unconscious and slipping away, I had to make the decision to stop her IV fluids. It was SOOO hard, but I took comfort in knowing it was what she wanted. The only thing I asked was that she be kept comfortable. That decision was on a Tuesday. That Saturday night, after visiting her, I prayed the most sincere, humble and honest prayer that God take her home and relieve her pain.
She died the next day. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to experience in my life. But I take comfort knowing that I followed my mom's wishes, and that God does listen to prayers.

We are on the slippery slope. It started in Holland and Oregon, and it has slowly spread. Sad times, man.

The starting blocks are on the shallow end of the pool where the water is only 3ft deep. Does this seem a little stupid to anyone else? I can't say I've ever seen such an arrangement at any pool.
