Bonnie Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 You all will NEVER know how much these words will help in the next few months.... Carrol is having a tube up in on Tuesday for them to drain the lung each week, but she has decided that she doesn't want any prevention meds. In some ways I can understand, at her age, these harsh drugs are actually more pain than if you just left thing ride the course, but on the other hand its not going to be easy to just set and wait. She really isn't one who excepts emotion, and will not even be in a room where someone get teary...so those will be hidden and put away till its over. She is a tough old bird, but don't let looks fool you..., I feel for Gene....when my own mother died, it was a massive heart attack and it was over in just a few short hours, where this could take weeks or months. Personally I'm hoping for a year, but I have been known not to get what I want.:mad: Again thank you ALL...this will be re-read many times over the next months, it will be a crutch and I am so bless with each an everyone of you.

Susanne.Hughes Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Dear Bonnie, I want to add my hugs and love coming your way. I can't imagine what the three of you have just gone through... yes, she does look like a tough, feisty Lady and I admire her for making a tough decision by herself. I know it could be a long time that you and Gene and the rest of the family have to see her suffer, and like the others on this chat, I hope that you all have the chance to take this time to cement all the happy times and memories during the last of her Autumn days. I wish we were closer because I would love to be able to give a big hug myself, rather than having to send one through the ether!! I wish I could be there in person to help you bear this burden. For now, all I can do is: ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((H-U-G-S))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) My thoughts are with you always, Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg_marsh Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Bonnie, Prayers and hugs to you, Gene, & Carrol. From you description, she reminds me of my Granny - another tuff bird who I loved dearly. She also did not want to be around teary people & always looked on the positive side - she was also a bit bossy - in the end, she decided when to die. She flatly did not want to have any extra medical care & she wanted to go see Frank (her DH). With that she said her good-byes and within a few days went to sleep. Her last words to me were not to worry - "that she and Frank would take care of Kelley". Our daughter, Kelley, had died 2 years prior and is presently inturned with them. Actually, Carol's picture reminds me of my Granny. The tougher they are, the sweeter they are!!!! She looks like a wonderful woman & I hope you and Gene can enjoy whatever time you have left. Every minute is a treasure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm so sorry Bonnie, I know what a hard time this is for you all.
