I have an old freind who had a real bad stroke, got a little better but was still totally fucked up, had another stroke and fucked him up worse now he has had something else that poured blood on his brain, is in ICU and not expected to live. Man with the BS his son has done to all his father collected through the years and worked hard for and with the lack of life he would have I just hope he would die fast to save him from suffering. Long strung out dying sucks, just quick and painless please. :cheers2: To you Kenny, you fucking lil bastard!
A friend of mine couldnt walk , talk or do pretty much fuck all. Now he's making a full recovery.Except... Unfortunately , he now sits in the park singing "kum by yah" with flowers in his hair... Life *did* deal him a cruel blow... PS it was a horrific sight when we expected him to die. But people *can* make a huge recovery from strokes etc in time. Sorry to hear about that tho
Thx.Mine still struggles to walk and I cant understand a word of what he says.But I think he can recover fully in time.They're giving him alot of therapy. The Kum By Yah bit was my warped humour. But really , it was like a miracle.He was given months to live, then he started recovering...
I'm sorry to hear about your friend...but its life, it cant always be peaceful or nice but the point is he will be remembered. and isn't that all we have, to be remembered?
{{{Hugs}}} Yank, that's really tough. Hopefully, and I don't mean this is a bad way, he'll go soon. Hanging on when there's nothing left, no hope of recovery, it's just really sad. I've told my husband that if I were ever to the point where my life would be in a simply exisiting, vegetative state, that I want him to pull the plug. I don't want my family to have to see me like that, and I don't want to be a burden on them.
sounds like my grandmother. couple heart failures, followed by survival each time. eventually she got bad enough to go to the hospital one last time. was expected to live a day or two at most. survived. not in a good state at all. utterly incoherent. when she was conscious, more often than not she was deluded. went on like this for somewhere around a week. maybe a week and a half after being taken off of life support. she had a shitty life. the one thing that life taught her was to fight, no matter how hard you had to fight. she just couldnt let go... the worst part was at the very end she was conscious but barely coherent and kept demanding of her favorite son to take her home, out of the hospital. she could barely recognize anybody. watching her mind go was tough, even if she wasn't all there even before she ended up there. she was conscious enough at the beginning of her final stay that she was asked wether or not she was ready to pass on, whether she wanted to be taken off life support. she said it was best, so i dont think there was a moral issue. but i still wish, with all the time we had, that we could have just taken her home, or to the home of one of her kids, so she could pass on there. i dont mind death. i didnt cry at my own grandmothers funeral, and i was a pallbearer. death was a sweet release for her. it was welcome, a good thing. but i can't stand suffering. i couldnt stand going back and forth from the hospital, watching her deteriorate. i couldnt fucking stand watching her children suffer. and while one uncle i particularly dislike, i couldnt stand that he couldnt be there for his own mother in the hospital, for her funeral even, because he was in prison. its not easy. i hope your friend passes quickly and with as little suffering as possible. i hope all the best for all his loved ones, probably even more than i hope for him.
He did pass away this morning, I guess he was on life support and they pulled the plug becuase he was already brain dead after the blood deal on the brain.
yeah, but that wasn't posted when i started writing that. sorry for your loss. i hope you're ok, as well as his family
