Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Jolene, Don't worry about the weight; it is better to have some cushion than not. Did you take potassium supplements? Mom did for a while and quit after she fell and became bedridden. I still have the " what ifs " and maybe always will. Don't work too hard.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Narice, Thank you for sharing this with us. Just goes to show us that not all doctors are totally honest when it comes to telling one that the end is near. Dr. Rothman did tell you and Phil very kindly and was truthful so you would know and understand what was going on. The other doctors should be punished for not being truthful. Knowing the truth gives the patient time to prepare and tie up loose ends. Just wish we could trust all the doctors more.
