My mother had a massive CVA 10 year...It is so hard. My mother had a massive CVA 10 years ago leaving her paralyzed on one side and in a nursing home. Before that she requested to have NO heroic measures. We un plugged her not once but twice after being told she was brain dead. She came out of her coma with her brain 90% intact. Last year she had a major surgery and the anaesthetist spoke with her at length and she made the decision that she would not want to live any more compromised than she was right then so signed her own DNR order. Fast forward to this week and again faced with surgery, she made the decision to have all and any measures to SAVE her life in the vent of a problem. I know for sure that in her state another event could take her speech, the use of her only usable hand, her ability to propel her own wheelchair etc and I can;t help but think she has made a wrong decision.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.com
