She gravely told me that one lung was completely Dead... and had a very large "bolus" (A fluid-filled "sack") atop of it and the top lobe of my remaining lung was dead as well... ... She went on to tell me that my heart was rapidly turning to a hardening , blackened organ... She said that there is "Nothing" that could be done....
at that point , we began to laugh... and laughed even more ... when we saw her expression turn even more grim ... we laughed so hard that we fell off of the stool... ( made a loud "splat" sound as we hit the floor) ... still laughing... we looked up to see the "terrified" look upon her face ... this caused us to laugh even harder... could barely breath by now...
She summoned the orderlies...
my new case worker was coming down the hall to meet with me for the first time... (My previous case worker had committed suicide just the week before...) but we could not stop laughing... even with the terrible coughing fits...
Not exactly the way to respond to this Bad news....
Just means fewer years of "Misery" that we have to live through....
ReplyDelete... So we are "dying"... and health issues have been getting much worse over the last few months....
.... Nothing to do but "grin and bear it".....
