Johnie, how are you feeling today, after your dose of pred? Better, I hope. It’s so wonderful to see you posting like this, even though I’m not the first to say that there is certainly no need to apologize. And, there is no one more welcome than you. No one.

Response:
Johnnie, Never ever feel you have to apologize for feeling and saying anything on this newsgroup! I have tears running down my face at the moment that you are feeling a tiny bit less overwhelmed. It was so hard to reply to your message the other day. I felt selfish because part of it was because of me but also I was so afraid that decisions could be made because of depression of meds or sleep deprivation (been there done that). In other conditions than that to answer your question of a day or two ago I agree with euthanasia when things are beyond help. But this is great – hoping this new person can help – Acacia has so much to learn from you and so much love to receive. You don’t have to live and work your way thru this alone though. Right behind you! Kelly

I am glad you raised these issue Johnie. I am struggling with life and death questions with my father right now. One of my Uncles strongly disagrees with my Mother’s decision to stop his heart medication, but fortunately he has a living will and discussed his wishes with his Doctor and our family. I can’t imagine the difficulty of making choices when there is discord in the family and in the absence of clear instructions I passionately believe people have the right to die. I also believe when the choice is made there should be strong consideration for those left behind. If your posts caused even one person to give consideration to some type of living will then you have done a great service to this group. No matter how you feel on the subject of right to die you should make those wishes known. Your family will thank you for it. My grandfather committed suicide and for years it was our family’s dirty secret. He left a note but I wish he had left more information for his family. I am glad you want to continue fighting and watch Acacia grow up, and thanks for bringing up the topic. – MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com

I’m glad you’re in a better place now. And I just want to say one more thing. "Deserving" has absolutely nothing to do with the outpouring of support you received. Nada, zilch, nichevo.

I feel for you. I know I don’t have half the trouble you have, but I can tell it is really bad for you. I have empheysema and asthma and allergy problems that mess with my lungs. Ontop of all this I have a flu that they say is attacking my lungs. So I can sort of understand what you are going thru only that yours is much worse. I want you to know that you are in my heart and prayers. I am thinking about you alot. I saw you mention that you were going to send Kimmy apic of you and your little guy easter egg hunting. Could I see it too please. I would like to. I am hoping that things change around for you Johnnie if that is possible and that things will start to heal and get better.
