To all the stupid people who think that Mom is gonna live forever...even if she has had both feet amputated....multiple times...a piece at a time...Mom, who has been on Dialysis for umpteen trillion years, Mom who is in ICU, comatose, on three or four cardiac drips....TODAY....TODAY...was NOT the day to decide that MOM needed to be changed to a FULL CODE, against her express desires. Then after your OH SO CHALLENGED mental decision...you left after visiting hours, to go home, to peacefully sleep. WHERE WERE YOU...when she coded...and we called you??? DO YOU THINK we call at 3 am in the morning simply to annoy you...to wake you from your beauty sleep??? STUPID PEOPLE who respond to the nurse...I'll be by in the morning....HUH???? PEOPLE...IF A ICU NURSE IS CALLING YOU AT 3 AM IN THE MORNING AND ASKING YOU TO PLEASE RETURN TO THE HOSPITAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.....THAT MEANS NOW........MOM IS NOT RISING UP AND WALKING....SHE IS GROWING WINGS AND THE CHOIR IS SINGING!!!!!
We coded her 4 times...bless her heart, when I left this morning she was still breathing, ventilator assisted, the SON finally showed up around the 4th code, but was adament that everything be done...HIS mother is a fighter....poor woman.......all the doctor's could do was just shake their heads......
In Texas....especially the Rio Grande Valley...the patient's live forever...really...at least that is what the general population expect's...if you are a full code...you are not suppose to die.................EVER!

Been there. A thousend times just lately.
Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to my blogroll.
If any of my political or other insane rantings offend you let me know, and like the sizzling tape-recorder that concluded the Mission Impossible weekly enterprize, il n'existe pas.
But really. How bad am I?
