No one knows when our last day on earth arrives and although I am saddened by your post, I do feel a bit better to learn that you are now well taken care of by the hospice nurses. The days ahead can be a real challenge to you and your family but I trust every moment you spend with them will be meaningful and precious. Take care,
Karen

So sorry to hear , But I am glad you are with the people who love you the most and have hospice to help you . I wasnt aware of Marijuna being so benificial..( never e xperienced it on any level ) So what exactly can it do for you and I cant believe the gov't wont allow somthing that can help suffering ! ( I mean I know they do , just not right ). DO you know if NY allows this or where I could find out ? And I would be more then willing to write to the senators and congressmen on this issue or any issue that can make some one who is suffering with this disease quality of life better ! May peace be with you and your family during this time and forever !

Your contributions to this forum have created a strong sense of bonding with you. You have inspired and been admired. You've shown how every new development, good or bad, has been an opportunity to gain a new perspective.
I too, had been wondering where you were and kept looking for a post from you.
I agree you have the right to a organic plant Mother Nature provides that gives you comfort. Political B.S. that it's ok in one state and not another. I'll write to the Congressman as you requested.
Darrell, you taught us that nearly all food is blendable when on a feeding tube for life. Is there anything you would like that I could make for you? Soup, seafood chowder, cookies, brownies?
If you want to talk, I want to listen too. Post, email, PM, whatever.

Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 417 | Thanks for sharing and caring. I am doing well with hospice, they see to my every need or want. Today they brought me a vacuum machine and a shower chair. As you all know Mucocitis is terrible plus now there's brown GOO coming from my left lung, the vacuum machine is a Godsend.
The flowering Herb thing has been solved, so the Shower Chair will keep me off of the bathroom floor should I stagger or fall. LOL.
Thanks so very much for caring.
