When people are dying..

[AVSTANG02]

I wonder if they realize they are dying or if their brain shuts down and they aren't even thinking on that level.

My grandmother died yesterday..

I saw her weekly to get her groceries.

She had everything wrong with her.. but nothing particular.. The immediate concern was her weak heart and clogged arteries..

She was fairly normal.. Could walk, talk, barely climb stairs.. she was better off than a lot of people..

Well all of a sudden Thursday she gets a cough and complains about a sore throat..

Friday night she's complaining that she's getting a cold..

Friday night she has a massive heart attack on her couch..

Saturday afternoon she is found barely conscious..

The paramedic asked her to squeeze his hand if she could hear him..

She squeezed..

So she was still alive and conscious..

But her vital organs were dropping off one by one..

Then she finally died..

She could have been laying on her couch barely alive for 6 - 12 hours..

It's gotta be ****ed up to go through something like that and be thinking.. "This is it.. i'm finally going to die."

I have no problem with other people dying. I understand it's a part of life.

Don't think to hard on it. I've noticed most old people welcome death and talk about it comfortably and even joke around about it.

i am a cardiology tech. have been for 8 yrs. i've been bedside dozens and dozens of times to see patients out(watch them take their last breath). most of the time dr's call me in to monitor the patient heart with my ekg mechine. if they are "DNR", i tell the dr. when the pt's heart no longer has a rythem that can sustain life. at that point, dr's "call it" aka pull the plug. i'm also on the "code team"( responsible for resuscitateing pts that go into cardiac arrest). in most of these "code" cases, i am first paged to the pt's room "stat" to perform an ekg on the pt because they are haveing chest pains. sometimes, shortly after, the pt codes and dies. its spooks me sometime to know i'm possibly the last person to talk to the patient. it's saddest to see a people come into the hospital for overdose or wrecks, things of that nature and die, cause the families take it sooo hard.

said all that to say this, i feel ya bro and best wishes to you and yours.....

Yea it is hard for us youngens to grasp. But I bet when your old as balls and can't do anything anymore, dying doesn't seem that bad anymore.
