Cyn, please send your post re: what Hospice said to Governor Bush or FAX IT TO HIM WOULD BE BETTER!!! Just take off the FR stuff.

TERRI LOOKS WORSE PER TV PER HER DAD THAN SHE DID when she was starved-dehydrated through Monday. Did the Hospital even TREAT HER AT ALL OR DID THEY JUST START AN IV AND PUT THE TUBE BACK IN?

I bet they didn't do any other treatment and just did what Jeb's Order told them to do, or not. IF SHE HAD MEDICAL TREATMENT, EVEN A NON-MEDICAL PERSON WOULD HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT TERRI WOULD "LOOK BETTER", not worse?????

Here's the deal. I was on the pc all day yesterday. I pullled my trapezius muscles around my neck. I cannot type at all today until tonight.

EVERYONE PLEASE PLACE POLITE PHONE CALLS TO OUR LAST LIST. LEGISLATORS WHO WERE KEY FOR TERRI'S LAW, GOVERNOR BUSH AND BOB MARSHALL, Va Delegate IN D.C. They need daily updates... Emails are okay but not quite good enough.

I'M PROBABLY GOING BACK TO HOSPICE TO RE-VIGILIZE MYSELF after I get cleaned up.

Please everyone, this is a mess so we need to do specific things that have been outlined.

If you don't want to, whatever. I just can't help here today because I'm on the injured reserved list from over-freeping last night. lol

My mom is here and she is extremely touchy about this. She sees my husband's and my support for Terri's survival as a sign that we won't respect her wishes with respect to her own living will. She is completely unwilling to see that the facts of this case are so very different from that kind of case--where a living will exists and the family all understands what is wanted. She won't believe that Michael Schiavo is evil; she thinks we are evil to make a woman who is "screaming inside let me go, let me go" stay in a ruined body.

Unbelievably, to me, she doesn't believe the parents have any right at all in this case. She can't see the inconsistency there. Certainly if it was the husband fighting to keep her alive, she'd side with the parents--that's how big she is on 'right to die'--but this isn't about 'right to die'--we see that, but she can't.

:-(

Just venting. I'm sick as can be and I won't have the energy to fight with her about it evn if I wanted to, and I don't. I want the visit to be wonderful, not hurtful. So I won't discuss it anymore, even though it's the one thing I feel strongest about right now.

Anybody else whose family is divided over this, boy, you have my sympathy. It's very painful.
