Debra I fully understand watching death, brings to the front the worry,

fear of family deaths, I have wondered how would I ever get throug watching my

children surffer, it was hard enough with the home hit deteriation and death of

my brother, I was busy doing the nurse stuff, you know what I mean skin care,

posit. etc. but to watch a life of someone you love so much be taking away from

you and nothing you can do! Hope things are better today. Take Care and hope

for lighter days. Sharon

agree with the disgust of liquid meds. I cannot tolerate them and will suffer

most of the time if a pill form is not available.

The death thing, yeah it is hard but it really affects me more in the way of

realizing my own immortality. (I do care about the people)... but the hardest

part is just the thinking of my own death and the death of my children or other

family memebers.

love and hugs,

I could get a bottle down at once, cherry flavored or not. I had to go to the

liquid benedral last week to try and sleep as the tabs we are out of and almost

threw up with just 1tsp and directions was for adults take up to 4 which

probably should of and what I needed cause did not sleep through, but my gag

reflexes, are to sensitive for anything in but a sip. I have been on the RX

codiene C.S and the really thick thick pink one stronger and boy sweet but still

could never do a bottle at once! Anyway I did the same with my 3 children I

think I over did with talking about both drugs and acohol and the domino effect

if not only if they tried and got addicted, all the other behaviors that go

along with it, as they got older they would just say " I know MOM " I know MOM, I

was lucky my girl is 28, married and 2 children the boys just turned 23 and 24,

and doing

well, but as I tell my friends I still never say never with them they are

single it is a big ugly world out there and people love to eat you up and alot

of them like to see a good person fail. So I am still talking the talk to them.

I swear they must tell there friends my mom is over the top, weird, LOL, no they

have good friends and when they come by or I call them I talk to all of them and

tell them stay alert, and don't fall into a trap. Debra, by the way thankyou for

your other post on bad day, I was tempted but have been there and done another

one and did not want to look like I was just here to attack. Take care hope

lighter days, Oh and sorry you had to lose a patient, this stinks, I remember

waaay back when I first started in the field saying if this ever happened to me

I would quit, well have been through how many now, and 34 yrs later, and each

one tears your heart out. The last 3 were back to back and my own family members

brother and g.mother 15 days apart, then my dad. I remember when it was said

dying is a beautiful thing! I

would like to know who quoted that, and how is it, in anyway exspecially the one

suffering getting there or the ones who are scared to death of death and no

matter how much we would medicate they would wake up screaming for help and

would have a death grip on my hand the rest of there time! I hope your over your

other resp.

First of all, YUCK. That stuff tastes nasty. LOL.

But on the serious side, this is very sad. I think it must have been the

Robitussin DM because I think it is the Dextromorphan (the cough suppressant)

that gets them high. (I don't know if I spelled that right). I have heard of

people drinking or taking the DXM (that big word) to get high. It is so sad. I

mean really. Just about anything we have in our house can be misused. We have to

really be careful to educate our young people about these things. I have talked

myself blue in the face about drugs to my daughter. So far it seems it has

gotten through and she is head strong on being drug free. I hope it stays that

way. She is almost 11 now and next year will be in middle school. That is scary

because these kids face alot of things now that we did not deal with at that

age.

She knows I take rx pain meds. She even knows where they are. I have explained

to her that they are only to be taken if rx'd by a doctor for a good reason. She

understands and is a very independent little thinker. I hope she keeps the

independence up and refuses to be swayed by the wrong crowd.

love and hugs,

Debra V.
