The Personal Politics of Chewing: Another Terri Entry

Tonight, as it has been since Terri's tube was disconnected and growing more so by the day, it was hard to eat or drink. I felt guilty swallowing because I was wondering if she was having pain, or being thirsty, or hungry. I hope that she's medicated so as not to feel pain. But I know not my eating...

Disabled Women Talk Terri (Schindler-Schiavo) on Larry (King)!

Did anyone see those two wonderful, articulate, disabled women on Larry King Live tonight talking about Terri Schindler-Schiavo? I know one was Joni Eareckson Tada- a pro disability rights, disabled person of faith. I like her organization, Joni and Friends. It helps churches design welcoming,... Sign in to see full entry.

My Heart is Sore!

I'm so sad... Seems there's nothing to do for Terri now, although I'll still pray for divine intervention (I'm pretty non-violent but I wouldn't be opposed to Michael Schiavo getting incapacitated by a car wreck). I really thought someone would do something, but apparently able-bodied people can... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Gets a "No!" Vote

I was right not to have hope about the judge in Terri's case. There's an appeal, but time is getting short here. I really don't know what to do anymore accept blog, inform, and pray. I wonder how the judge can sleep? Do you suppose he wanted to save Terri, but felt trapped by legal red tape? God, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking a Mini-Break

I am watching How Do I Look? instead of staring at Michael Schiavo's ugly mug on Larry King. I can't bare to look at him, knowing the sort of person he is. I've spent most of the day following this on the news and blogging. I had a nap earlier, though, and then woke up sick again. When will this... Sign in to see full entry.

Still on Pins and Needles...

I've had CNN on all day and am still waiting to hear about Terri; I left for a moment (actually about 45 minutes) but other than that I've been glued to the TV. I'm really proud of Sen.Tom Harkin, who said this about Terri. I wish this whole process would hurry up, a human being is staving to death... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank God for Those Supporting Terri!

I am proud of my Congress, my Reps, and even my President very early this morning. The house just passed the Terri bill by nearly 4 to 1 and Bush will wake up to sign it, despite the fact that he usually sleeps early. Tomorrow, I am going to write a letter to every Rep who said yes just to thank... Sign in to see full entry.

Terri Countdown!

I am watching the House debate about Terri right now, as I drink OJ, which is hard for me to do thinking of her suffering with no food or water. BUT AJ is right, making myself sick won't help Terri Schindler- Schiavo in the slightest. I need to be strong to keep writing these blogs and such, plus... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, He's Done It!

Terri's tube was disconnected. I hope someone on Capitol Hill can help her,that her husband has a massive change of heart (doubtful though I sometimes am that he has one), or that he dies or becomes incapacited so gaudianship of Terri returns first to her parents and than, after lots of therapy and...

On Terri

I know I should be watching Terri Schindler-Schiavo's case on TV (her feeding tube is scheduled to be removed today), but I can't really bare it. I can't believe this is even an issue. If Terri were able-bodied, it wouldn't be. But, of course, disabled people are disposable and able-bodied people... Sign in to see full entry.
