Thanks for good thoughts. I spent most of May in the hospital then
the doctors sent me home to die and I was put into home hospice
care. At 1:00am July first I woke up with breathing trouble
thinking I had thrown up in my sleep and aspirated some vomit. So I
went to the bathroom and coughed and coughed then back to sit on
the bed and when my breathing got worse I yelled for my roommate to
help me and hook up the oxygen cylinder which I had never used. The
regulator wouldn't seal so high pressure oxygen spewed everywhere.
That's when I told roommate to dial 911, by the time paramedics got
there I was drowning in my own body fluids due to a sudden onset of
pulmonary edema. In the emergency room, I told them they should
stick in a catheter and start draining me. I couldn't lie down
because it felt like I was drowning so they shot me full of Lasix,
my kidneys kicked into overdrive and voluminous amounts of urine
started draining through the catheter into a big bag. When I could
breathe again I was sent to intensive care for a few days then to a
regular room for another several days then home after 5 days in
the hospital. I've spent more time in the hospital this year than I
have in my whole life. I was dropped from hospice because I wasn't
declining and my nurse would scold me for getting out and trying to
work. I still live in pain but at least I know I'm not going to
drop dead no matter how much certain Progressive Liberal Leftist
Commiecrat Freaks wish for it to happen. ^_^

I wonder if we might do a reality show about the man who refused to
die? TDD: The man who Declined to Die.

It might be fun, I was told I would die and I refused to do so. I didn't
sink into depression and give up like a lot of folks do and that's why I
think I'm still here. ^_^
