JimH,
I am sorry your mom had to suffer 8 yrs in a nursing home. I sometimes wonder why as a society, we spend so much time money and effort to extend someone's life with so little concern for their quality of life. I am not making any judgment on you or your mom's situation, but I know when it is my time to go, I have a living will limiting what anyone can do to extend my life. The ideal way to go is to go to sleep and not wake up. " *JimH*" wrote in message ... "Don White" wrote in message ... *JimH* wrote: "Don White" wrote in message ... Not about Harry this time. First post I saw from JimH this morning after his self-imposed exile, was what I took as a jab at Chuck. Yep. And what did it have to do with you Don? (I'm guessing that likeness on the Tinyurl is supposed to be Chuck) If that is who you think it is based on the characteristics I listed then that's your option. Not quite like that. I'm getting to understand your 'MO'! Good. We are getting to know each other better and better each day, and that is a good thing. How is your Mom doing Don? (an honest question). As others have said I also applaud you for taking care of her. She's doing fine, thanks. She hits 91 next month. My Mom passed away earlier this year. She suffered a stroke some 14 or so years ago and went downhill from there, eventually ending up in a nursing home for the past 8 or 9 years. Even being at a nursing home took quite a toll on me and my sisters with weekly visitations and making sure she was being cared for properly. Glad to hear your Mom is doing well Don. 91 years young............very impressive. |

Often it is not a matter of extending life, but simply providing the best
quality of life left.........my grandfather had a stroke that left him still aware, but unable to care for himself for 8 years......had it not been for availible family members to care for gim, he would have had to been placed in a nursing home. What I really do not understand are the 50 something people that place their parents in nursing homes only because they do not want to be inconvienced......that then visit them at best, once a month.

I agree. I always ignore Don's little barbs my way because he is classy
enough to take care of his 91 yr old mother. Even if she is in good health, and doesn't need nursing care, it still can be trying for two independent people to suddenly move in together. I believe in Karma, and this selfish act, will come back to Don. Heck, he might live a long full life, and then die a quick painless death. ; ) "P Fritz" wrote in message ...

Although I do find your comments to be over the edge (as you have no idea
what my Mom's situation was and have no right to judge how she stayed alive) I will address them anyway. No one was extending her life. She was a fighter. Yes, she had a living will but she survived without any artificial or external apparatus keeping her alive. We are not believers in euthanasia. She lived her hell on earth and is now up in heaven with my Dad. Frankly I was insulted by your reply, especially your comment about "so much time and effort with so little concern for their quality of life". How dare you make such a statement, even when talking about society in general. I hope your parents and your family never have to go through what my Mom and family did. But we did so with total regard for her quality of life. "Starbucker" wrote in message ... JimH, I am sorry your mom had to suffer 8 yrs in a nursing home.

JimH,
Take a long deep breath, and calm down. I have no idea of your mom's situation, and said that right up front. I also said I was not judging or commenting on you or your mom's situation. I also do not endorse euthanasia. My comment was a comment on society in general, and yes our medical ability can prolong someone's life beyond their normal life span. I wish more doctors would say, "it is a good day to die", instead of "what can I do to keep this person alive a little longer". My father was on a DNR in the hospital, and I stayed with him for his last week. I saw the people in his ward who were kept alive way belong their time. The people who were in a coma, wheeling into dialysis, even though they were 80 and in a coma. I stayed with my father to make sure he was allowed to die, and a the doctors followed his wishes. You should not be insulted about my comments in anyway, since it was not directed towards you or anyone in particular. It is my opinion, and one endorsed by many in the medical profession.

No need for me to calm down. Anyone recently losing a loved one,
especially with that person suffering for an extended period (with dementia and arthritis) in a nursing home would take offense to your general remarks about throwing money away (to a nursing home) and not caring about their loved ones quality of life. Sorry but that is how I took it. I said what I had to say. Peace. "Starbucker" wrote in message ... JimH, Take a long deep breath, and calm down. snip |

You also don't seem to mind saying nasty little remarks about my dead mother. Because of your lying, nasty, mean spirited bull**** you deserve everything you get here. Now be a man. |

Gee, Kevin, I can't remember *anyone* making nasty remarks about your dead mother. Did you just make that up along with the other things you make up? -- John H "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan Another fabricated story. Another lie. How many times do we have to see this tactic before we just dismiss it as fiction? It seems like quite a common tactic by many on the left.....accuse someone of a dastardly deed but never produce the proof of the claim when asked. We even see that on a National scale. How convenient. How pathetic. Another case in point.......Gould claimed on 10-3 that I recently posted a particularly nasty *attack* post about him. When asked to produce that post has come up empty. How typical. How pathetic. Now Kevin is claiming I posted nasty remarks about his Mother. So I ask once again.........care to produce that post Kevin? More attacks. More lies. yawn DSK has me calling him filthy names, Kevin has you making nasty remarks about his dead mother. No telling what Harry's latest are. Life must be hell. -- John H "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan |
