If You've Had To Help Relatives Make Medical Decisions For Others, Please Tell Me How The Heck You Keep Everyone On The

[Ricadene]

Sure. Chris, you know my Dad died back in June Just before - two weeks before, I called down to talk to him and he could barely talk to me - I couldn't get anything out of Clara, my Step Mom(he married her after my Mom Died - they were both like 70 when they married). I asked if she was going to call for an ambulence and was getting no answers, nothing.   So I got in the truck, drove 15 hours straight, took him to the hospital, because it was clear to me that he was dying and then had to come home for my kids graduation. I had to teach the next week in Dallas, but it got canceled last minute and good thing, because Clara couldn't make a decision. The big one: should he go on Dialysis. I agonized because I knew he didn't want the wires, but I said yes.   Didn't matter. He died a couple days later and I went down to take care of the details and bring   Clara to the funeral. She wouldn't go. and somewhere in there, I became an ass.   I must have killed him because now, when I call her, I am told to "go to hell"   so, there you go. Not exactly a positive answer, but it's the one I have. awarulz 63 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment. Please verify your account to give a compliment. Please sign in to send a message.
