As Mikey and the Spinsters tried to describe the "euphoria" enjoyed by Terri, supposedly feeling no pain and enjoying, to the pleasure of the ghouls, the fun of dying, the staff administered morphine in the last days.
After Schiavo got his money, he issued a "do not resuscitate" order for her and cut off all of Terri's rehab and therapy. Those horrible contractures she suffered should have been treated with range-of-motion therapy. Her urinary tract infection became chronic because it wasn't treated in the first place. Thirteen years of neglect and cruelty took their toll.
One cannot avoid the suspicion that Michael Schiavo spent all the years refighting the big argument they'd had the day before Terri's so-called "collapse." Or was he angry that she did not die when he punished her that night and choked her life away?
"I kept my promise" was surely his boast that he'd won the argument at last. Must have made him feel big to beat up on a helpless, disabled woman.
Yeah, after ten or eleven days of torture. He knew, he knew. He had watched her test positively for pain all over her body. He knew she would die in agony. Felos knew. Bushnell knew.
