Well I've been through the last couple days from hell. And I have to say I think I felt a small fraction of what Terri was going through when she died!
I got dehydrated and I believe from the damned thyroid medicine I'm taking. I feel awful! I have no idea how it happend but I do know that the last couple of days my muscles in my body were tight, week, and I was shaking! I had body tremors, pain throughout my body everywhere. I couldn't use any of my muscles it was so bad! I was thirsty, had dry mouth, and my eyes were sunken in. I go to the doctor and find out I'm dehydrated and I starte drinking gatorade quickly and lots of it. I feel lots better, cept a bad headache now! But WOW, is all I can say! Dehydration feels awful and nothing to mess with. Terri had to be in severe pain dying is all i can say. Dehydration is TERRIBLE!
Can you imagine then, Terri with supposed weak heart went thirteen days without a drop to touch her lips? Few of the strongest could go that long and with suffering we can hardly imagine.
Dehydration can sneak up as you found out. It would happen to our son sometimes. He couldn't talk and we wouldn't always realize it at first until some early symptoms. Then we would learn to pinch gently some loose skin on his arm. If it snapped back, we would not worry, but if it took time to return, we knew he needed water right away.
Thirteen days...it still boggles the mind.
"As part of the launch, NPLAC has purchased 600 copies of “A Life That Matters,” which will be delivered to every member of the United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives and key members of the Bush Administration, including the president and the vice president."
Our leaders must read the above book to learn why their poll ratings have tanked, republicans and democrats abandoned Terri.
Ralph Nader was on Terri's side, Mel Gibson, Patricia Heaton and many other heavies were on Terri's side. EVEN Al Gore's election fight attorney David Boies was on Terri's side. The list goes on and on.
The body needs water. Without water, body organs turn into rocks. So, the autopsy viewed organs not in their actual pre-felony condition.
Everyone be careful with your medicine.
I recently heard a doctor [on the radio] say that doctors and their families take the LEAST amount of medicine.
That sent me a message..of course they sure prescribe lots for their patients. My aunt had a nurse friend check her meds and two of them were duplicates by different companies.
