Oh raeanna74, I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope you pull through.

I know this doesn't apply directly to your situation, but years ago I read "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It's an excellent book about how to deal with life & death, and I believe that it may ease your pain. I know it made me reevaluate a lot of my feelings about life as a whole.

I think these sorts of situations are inevitable, and we as humans should establish for ourselves at what point we would approve of euthanasia, so that it would still be our choice, even if at that point we could no longer think. I for one would rather be dead than live with a potato spud for a brain. I am sure there are many others like this. So it's basically like an extension to the drivers license instructions regarding your organs in death.

Good luck, raeanna74.
