Re: RE:life span- Vera

You are sweet. I am doing OK.

I recently corresponded by e-mail with the doctor that resuscitated my

mother and who helped us release her the next day by turning off the

respirator. It turns out, it graduated from my high school 4 years earlier

than me. ANyway, I resisted the temptation to have him walk me through the

exact steps that took place before my mother went into cardiac arrest (if he

even knew them). Resisting this is a huge feat for me. But I realized that

it wouldn't bring me what I want -- my mother. And it wouldn't even bring

peace of mind.

My family is redefining itself without my mom and I am hoping to have my dad

here for the holidays. My dog with cancer is in kidney failure now and trips

for IV fluids and to the local deli for the turkey slices that she'll eat

keeps me distracted. This particular dog is my best friend and although I've

lost plenty of animals before, I didn't know how I would get through this

one. But my mother has taught me well. There ain't nothing harder than this.

Hope you are well, Debbie

Debbie,

I just lost my 13 year old Beagle mix commonly known as Buddy, formally

known as Budreau . He also had cancer. He died two Thursdays ago.

He also was my great friend and I will miss him much. My mother died in

1991 from breast cancer when Bud was just 4 years old. My mother lived with

me the last couple years as she fought her disease and she became very fond

of my pets. I now think about them being together. Surely she would feed

him a scrap or take him for a walk. Sorry to hear of your troubles.
