Re: a little OT
My mother suffered a stroke while recovering from surgery. No medical intervention was provided and while she technically survived she died that day. She lived another 6 years but had no concept of who we were and became mean and violent and we finally had to put her in a long term treatment facilit...

During cold temps and/or rain, your body trys to regulate your core temperature making your heart work much harder and causing lethargy, loss of energy and retention. The inability to pump blood properly...

Re: So....lets do this for the Newbys!!!
My brother-in-law and I spoke a week ago and he asked me about CRT-Ds, seems he's scheduled to get one next Monday. I spent an hour explaining about his condition, Defibrillators, how they work, what to expect, and so on. Like all of us he was just told he needed one and no details were provided. 3 ...

Re: a little OT
Colin, my sincere condolences on the passing of your father, I know how difficult it is even when expected. Know that you and the family are in our thoughts. Let me see if I can rephrase my query: if you've already decided not to have heroic measures to keep you alive during a medical emergency, doe...

a little OT
Forgive me, the brain is functioning at half staff of late so my question may not be totally coherent... So, you have a DNR, which clearly defines the circumstances by which medical intervention is witheld. Basically if more than one Doctor determines the situation is hopeless and intervention is on...

Re: So....lets do this for the Newbys!!!
Just like with all of my MI's (heart attacks) I've come to realize the only one that counts is the last one you ever have. All the previous ones were training for the big event.

Re: New News
You want to stress, the Neptune Society keeps offering to cremate me, and they even offered a discount if I act immediately. Don't worry about the Doctor offering to shut your device down, well unless of course he's talking about your vibrator or worse asks about your golf clubs. Glad to see you are...

Re: Sudden cardiac arrest reacurrance
I like the way you think. Can I have your golf clubs when you're gone? Sounds like you don't expect to be around much longer. Do yourself a favor and start thinking about what you are going to do with your life. If all you do is think about dying you really aren't living. Everybody here has beaten t...
