A time to die, saving a soul-saving the deficit!

The right to die should not be explored but should be something we as a leader in the world lead in instituting. For those who read my blog know that mu dad has been in the hospital and then nursing home rehab after that ordeal. Of course because he went in for minor day surgery it became a major surgery almost causing death. But at an emotional moment my mother decided against better judgement to keep him alive.

My dad has said, WHY, Why did you not let me die! She said she could not live with herself now she has to live with the bad decision. Dada will never be the same. He may need 24x7 care which we can't afford and because some of his thinking ability works he feels he is in a prison and wants to go home, not realizing he can't take care of the basic needs.

Then thee is dealing with Humana, Medicare, the facility and family disagreements. Lets just say an emotional decision has caused havoc in the family and caused the taxpayers money that could of been avoided.

I walk through those corridors and I ask myself, WHY! Some if not most are just breathing! They can;t eat by themselves they have no idea where they are and they are there sometimes for decades awaiting death.

Its sad to keep these people alive and the right to die should be an option for everyone. If it does not become available in my time as an easy way to go i have option two, a gun!

Religion on the way of common sense.

I have the opportunity (hard to call it that) to assist with my Dad at the nursing home as he goes through rehab for a recent surgery. Whether he ever becomes the man he was is a story in itself! This blog is to define why "the right to die needs to be championed for and the reason people need a living will).

As I walk through the hallways to see my Dad, I can't help but look at bodies that are in beds but that should no longer here. Contrary to religion teaching, a human in a bed who cannot move, think or no longer take care of themselves no longer exist.

Common sense would say a "GOD", would not want humans to end up this way. The right thing to do is give people the right to die or allow them to decide when to die.

Spend a day or two in a nursing home and see for yourself if this would not be the just thing to do. The thought that when "God" is ready he will take them is not rational. As we head into the 22nd century we have moved forward in many ways with technology, but lack in common sense when it comes to leaving the planet.

It's good and some uncertainties

Let’s discuss the good! My sister is doing well and back in Boston with her daughter for the summer. God (I say this lightly for God is a spirit and neither male nor female) only knows that one needs to leave Tampa Bay for the summer. It's purely hell with a little drop of water here and there. Very unlike Miami, where we see rain everyday. I miss Miami so much! Yes, Rob does not like it but it's where I would like to finish my life on earth. Either that or PR near Ron.

That being said, she is doing well with her cancer treatments weekly and who knows she may outlive us all. But there is no cure and weekly treatments take a toll on my sister. I think about her daily, though she may not know!

As for me! I am done with surgery and the cancer has not returned. There are some possible bad news that I will keep everyone updated once and if confirmed! For now Rob and I spend as much time as possible seeing things we want to see this way. We don't know what the future holds, but enjoy where you are and as life moves you along enjoy wherever your planted until you’re finally seeded.
