My Mom who died at 90 peacefully in her sleep in HER Bed.
Refused to go to Docs. She was a nurse all her life.
I took care of her for 15 years, yes I’m very proud that she had a great life. (Or the best I could give her)
I am dealing with the thought of going into the hospital.
I had an MRI last MON, found out I have a hematoma next to my left ear.(f-ing ringing is driving nuts). I had a problem yesterday and called my HMO. they told me to go to the ER. I decided to stay home. Who knows what is going to happen. I am going to have another MRI in a month, I’m gauging it by the ringing. If it stops I will be ok. But trust me, if I can stay out of the hospital I will.
And that should be your decision, not some panel of affirmative-actioned bureaucrats.
