“I’ll bet she hates you as much as you hate her. “
What planet are you from? We moved her here from Fla. several years ago where she was spending much of her time in hospitals. She has been maintaining some semblence of health since she’s been here and not had one hospital admission since we’ve been taking care of her. She simply refuses to deal with reality. Perhaps I should take your advice and recommend to her to take every extraordinary measure to extend her life. CPR, tubes, etc. Would that make you happy?
I will never forget the vitriol dished out to those of us who tried to help keep Terri Schiavo alive.
She was not dying from a terminal disease. She merely required palliative care. Food, water, simple nursing for a completely disabled person, with a projected lifespan of over thirty years, before her state ordered execution.
She was forcibly starved and dehydrated, to death.
And yes, her “condition” differed greatly from your family member.
At the end, the huge number of people who claimed they personally wouldn't want to live that way, meant society was somehow justified in actively killing a person who was not in fact, dying.
OTOH, those same people will rail against halting futile medical measures, that merely prolong the death of terminally ill people.
