Believe me, they got no response from me for hours.<br /><br />Only after long-distance phone-calls from family did they learn that I had a collapsed-lung one time.<br /><br />After the doctor moved the tube around in different positions, did my lungs beging to respond. <br /><br />For I don't know how many days, I was unconscious. When I first started coming out of it, the first memory I have is how hard I had to fight to try and breathe. My right lung felt like it was not even there any more.<br /><br />It was so hard to see anything, and when I did I tried to yell. I couldn't even hear anything. No sound came out. The first thing I began to see were bags or bottles of stuff going into my veins.<br /><br />Before anybody noticed I was waking up, I grabbed the plugs in my left arm, and began ripping them out. Before I knew it, I was jumped by two or three people, alarms were blowing my ear-drums apart, and whenever I woke up again, I was strapped-down in a straight-jacket. <br /><br />As I was in-and-out of consciousness, I heard one night a conversation between the doctor and my roommates.<br /><br />He told them that, if I ever survived to come out of this, it would take at least eight months to get me off a respirator or ventilator.<br /><br />When I went in, it was Easter Sunday 1993; and I walked-out in June sometime.<br /><br />Concerning Bill HB 1114, I believe that acting in the parameters of a Will is understandable, but I think that "unresponsive" is another issue.<br /><br />My reasoning is this:<br /><br />When your central nervous-system sustains severe trauma, a human body needs a certain amount of time to allow healing-processes to take place.<br /><br />This guy in Georgia could be living a pretty regular life right now. <br /><br />In my situation, since that doctor at Hull, Quebec was unrepentent in saving my life, it gave me time to learn what a gullible-sucker I was for the Duty-to-Die network.Ironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859574716267489609noreply@blogger.com
