cheap-women, I retired from working in this healthcare world a year ago.   At 67, I couldn't take the stress any longer.  But, one can't get away from it.   The last year I have spent time in hospitals sitting with loved ones and hoping that they didn't contract any nosocomial antibiotic resistant infections or other errors of care.

Now you made me cry....that kind of pain you speak of is a very lonely, hidden and sharpest kind of all. And people who have no idea what we know or fell........who whine about crap...oh..don't get me started. Just know when we are done "here"  and all go home......think of the party we will be having!

you didn't upset me silly. I think these things every day. When my mom

found out she had cancer she was 42.  My sister was 16, my little boy was about 2 months old, and my little girl was 4.  It took 6 months for it to completely break her down, weight fell off of her, her hair, but most of all the life died right away in her eyes.  That chemo though, that was what I hated the most.  I feel more sorry for my Grandmother than anyone, though.  I watched my mother die, a slow horribly painful death.  My Grandmother watched her DAUGHTER die a slow horrible painful death.  She took care of her up until her last painful breaths.  I saw her cry once.  I know she has a horrible hole now that will never heal, and I know that lady screams at night in her house when she's alone.  But she stayed strong for us all, for me and my little sister losing a mother, for my kids losing a "ganmaw".. and for her other daughters losing a sister.  But to lose a child in such a horrible, slow, painful way.  Watching them cry for the children they are leaving, watching them ache for the memories they will never make, hearing them gasp when they look at old pictures of their childhood.  Most of all hearing them at night when it's dark, cry for the fear they know is coming with death.  I don't know how my memow is still walking.  I really don't.

Darling..I'm so sorry for your Grandma..and you of course..I know EXACTLY what you all went through.

Working 20 years   in  the Hospital. and  ER..seeing the bad things first hand....doing all I could to stop it when I could....and then like a flip of a switch...I became a "patient" .  Trust me the worst scenerio for a health care professional.

.I was your grandma as I fought so so very hard  to stay alive for my  "perfect spawns"  (which they were back then..lol for 5 minutes)

 What "they"  (my doctors who I put my trust in)  did to me was sometimes beyond the worse malpractice acts you could ever imagine. I was dying and could not fight them.   And on top of that...never SUED for millions...as everyone BEGGED me to do. Now poor and broken...I have to do something to make sense of it all.

I may call my spawns evil...... but  I'm doing this for their future.....all my pain and sacrifice to stay here for them...ain't going to throw it away so our HEALTHCARE can kill them.  Hell no.

and remember..I am supposed to be dead...really dead.

I swear I  STILL have the DR. DEATH on tape (secretly recorded btw)......ordering me to "wrap it up" "find homes for those kids asap" 

"If the cancer doesn't kill you....this  made up experimental chemo and radiation  posioning we pulled out of our ass  will kill you...sign here" not his exact words..duhh.. but his message was quite clear. 

So I'm thinking...this country may have a little denial problem.  It's NOT getting better.

Think about this...if we can protect our spawns..JUST maybe..lol...... they'll come bring us candy crumbs to our nursing homes on sundays....hehehe

again, I'm sorry for bumming you out..hope this helps explains my "mission"  U take care

.

AMEN MARK

If only I could...I beg myself every minute of the day   to STOP  this madness but obviously I have been taken over by "them"  (aka  "I see dead people" lol) and  now add this to my list...IMMUNITY to the HIGH LIFE.  I'm so screwed...every which way... well u know..

but hey..got you standing by with those  lobotomy tools ready to go......it won't be long Dr LOVE...lol stella

Leave it to him to make a real serious issue something ,

so alluring.... anyway.... I think it's disgusting the way some things work.  I watched my mom die in my Grandmother's living room, hospice was awsome I have to say.  But all the red tape, all the shit she had to suffer through to get this, get that, chemo...just for her to die and still have to handle shit that should have been taken care of her BEFORE she passed.  She died 4 months before she was supposed to retire her job of almost 30 years.  Watching my Grandmother lift her daughter up to clean her bedsores, and cry on the phone while she tried to get certain responsibilites handled... just really fucked me up.  Stop posting shit like this woman!

I don't need life 'cause I'm high on drugs ~

Without phamaceuticals, life itself wouldn't be possible.

Or getting some easy nookie would be a lit more work, anyway.
