Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Today has been a little rough on me. I woke up with a 7:30 am phone call from my mother. She said that my father had a massive stroke and had less than 2 hours to live. Around 1 pm from his stroke mom calls me back and said that dad woke up mad, demanded water and tried pulling out his catheter. This is the 4th time he has done this. We have everything done and payd for the way he wanted. He even signed a DNR order but it is the pacemaker that is keeping him alive. Doc said if he did it again they would take out the pace maker. Dad was really upset that he wasn't dead and chewed all of us out because of it. He is 87 blind, paralyzed from a previous stroke and MAD. This makes his 9th stroke. He has also had 16 heart attacks and blames us for keeping him alive when it was his own body doing it. Mom says she can't take anymore of this. They tell her he is dying and every time he manages to stay alive. All I can do is keep her calm while all of this is going on. The stress of all of this is giving me nightmares and more pain. Meanwhile I am doing my rituals to keep stress levels in my house down and sending out prayers to end this quickly for dad. I know it sounds horrid but we are all wishing this would end soon. So I'll take my bath, do my nightly rituals, and hope I will sleep. Sorry for rambling on. Blessed be, Ms.Katurah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
