Re: [QUAD-L] anniversary

Hi QP,

 

I'm with you on this.  I believe that if a person has made an informed decision about assisted suicide, they should have that right, but 'informed decision' is the key.  Until someone has time to live with a disability I don't think giving up and being put down is the way to go.  I also think a 'Living Will' should be respected.  Just my two cents.

 

With Love,

Hey Dave, You might be the only member currently in a nursing home but there's more than just me that's lived in one on this list. I spent my first 2 years in a nursing home battling lazy ass cna's that wouldn't turn me which caused a bad pressure sore on my coxic area. I do know your feelings I cried myself to sleep many many nights and if Clint would've been around I might have made a huge mistake, I know I'm lucky and everyones situation is different but I just wanted to share my feelings. I'm not sure if what Clint's movie is suggesting is right or not because they say I begged my brother to unplug me in the hospital but I don't remember none of it luckily. As far as everything happens for a reason it does and my reason was because I jumped into 4' of water so I agree shit happens for a reason.   Mark     -------Original Message-------   From: dave headman Date: Sunday, February 27, 2005 11:22:48 AM To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] anniversary   my sci anniversary was feb 19th my 26th year being stuck in this body. i've heard a lot of you weigh in about the movie "million dollar baby" i think the message is right on the money. i think i am the only list member thats actually in a nursing home, i see a lot of people that need a visit from clint eastwood. when you have family, friends,spouses and or a job your outlook on life might be a little brighter. and if i hear that bullshit line "everything happens for a reason" or "gods will" my head will explode. dave headman c4 26yrs post _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
