Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Dawn, I am so sorry about your loss of your mother. Thank you for offering your help to the rest of us. I do have some questions for you. Did your mom have a living will? Did she choose to go on the venilator? What was her age? Did she have other health problems? The story of the incident in surgery is unbelievable. When I have undergone surgery I have been so concerned at the atmosphere in there. They are in there talking about casual things, sometimes joking and sometimes music is playing. And me....I am in a panic. How long has it been since her death. I hope that you are healing. Your offer of help is so appreciated. Stick around! Hugs, Joyce >> hi,> > I am new to the group. My mother died of IPF and if anybody> has any questions about it please let me know.
