NAUTINURSE WROTE TO GEORGIA_JIMD: "So you [Georgia_JimD]are saying that Terri Schiavo did not deserve the opportunity for rehabilitation services. You can't argue that one to fruition."

GEORGIA_JIMD RESPONDED: "No. I don't. It's pointless because they have been doing just that for the last 13 years and nothing has changed. I'm sure the courts and doctors know best in this case."

I AM RESPONDING: "No, Georgia_JimD, GOD-Husband-Michael has spent NOTHING---NOT ONE DIME---on Terri's rehab, for which he was awarded $750,000. It was NOT awarded to pay for legal costs. His use of it constitutes MISAPPLICATION OF FIDUCIARY PROPERTY---A CRIME!!!

I AM ADDING: "Indeed, it is precisely BECAUSE he FRAUDULENTLY obtained and failed to use the $750,000 REHABILITATION award for Terri's REHABILITATION, that he has the legal costs!

I AM ADDING: "But for GOD-Husband-Michael's MISAPPLICATION OF FIDUCIARY PROPERTY, he would NOT have had ANY legal expenses.

God bless you all who are there at the vigil!!!
My prayers are with you also.

Jim, Jim, please be very careful when stating the difference between Terri ( a non-dying, non-"vegetable" person,) and someone who is terminal.
I am sorry for your experience with your father, I too, went thru terminal cancer watching my husband of 39 years die inch by inch.
I had to fight hospice, because they insisted he wear a green plastic bracelet that instructed anyone to DNR (which I DID NOT sign, nor he) in order not to "waste" any medical money in a terminal person!!
But I desperately needed the hospice doctor-prescription help they offered me, so stayed with them, just kept adamant of my position. They used a lot of pressure on me to have him wear this little green reminder his upcoming death and of saving money, but I would not give in.

A dear frined of mine experienced an obscene event with hospice, also.
She was caring for a terminal lady when the lady fell and broke her hip. The lady was screaming in agony, so she called an ambulance, and got chewed out by the hospice because of the wasting money. You are instructed (on hospice) to NOT call any medical help, but to call the hospice, and hope they show up.
In my case, I called them Christmas day, they never came until the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS!!!!! (and he died that day).

I also would advise you to carefully examine your living will.
Of all the respones/threads on Terri, a lot of comments state whether the poster wants no life support, yet they won't separate the issues of food/water. Ask them if they would agree to going through a starving/dehydration ugly death? Or do they just want no respirator? Or heart stimulator/help?
Think about it.
