SOS preparing for surgery & in lousy mood :-(

The case conference was the same as the one that Heather described. I guess it isn't offered at your hospital or it would have happened by now - perhaps you can force the issue??

I guess it goes back to the theory that we have to be our own advocates. We have to MAKE SURE that our doctors are all working together for the same cause -- our lives!

Yes we do. But there comes a time when we are so exhausted, so worn out there is no fight available. This is not because a person is not a fighter, it's because the person is human and there's only so much of a burden one can face entirely on one's own. In my case if I would die, no one would notice for days. Eventually, the old folks downstairs would wondered about the awful smell coming from the condo upstairs. Some truths are hard to face but that doesn't make them any less a truth.
