REMEMBRANCE of EASTER 2005

Crowd my eyes, you bevies of daffodils,
And you forsythias in throngs of cheer,
Dandelion galaxies and fountains of trees.
Fill my mouth with the breath of hyacinths, you purple air
And you roistering breeze.

And you quince-buds so eager, you swelling seeds,
You squirrels running stitches across the loom
Of woven grasses, inflorescent weeds;
Jasmine-bush, loop me with your lariats of perfume.
Fill me, small birds, with your versicles,
And chuckled replies.

She is bleeding from the mouth and eyes.

Sate me then, Sun, all dapple and spangle
Crowd out all else
Lade me and load me, you skies
With blessings of warmth and breath
Let me see nothing else
But everything springing and skyey.

From the mouth and eyes.

for Terri Schindler Schiavo

[Mrs. Don-o]

I remember Terri Schiavo.

[Mrs. Don-o]

For you.

[don-o]

Though Easter is early this year, and Spring delays, Good Friday will always include a remembrance of Terri. May her memory be eternal.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Ping to friends.

[Nowhere Man]

I remember Terri too.

I remember that Jeb Bush asked OTHERS to save Terri’s life, and when they wouldn’t, he stood around with his hands in his pockets. As governor of Florida, it was his duty to save her, a citizen of Florida, and he refused.

I will never forget.

I totally agree. I went to Florida and almost turned around when they announced that he was calling out the National Guards to protect Terri. Instead he decided to turn them around. He also signed the 1999 legislation that allowed her to be killed by the state in the first place.

“Additionally, Terri was not terminally ill. It was only after the 1999 statute changes that a non-terminally ill person could have a feeding tube removed without a written, advanced directive and that was only in cases of PVS.”

That is precisely it. Life-sustaining treatment did not include feeding tubes until 1999. Not under these circmstances. Please, please, please read the statute. Until that point, a feed tube removal could only happen with a written instruction.

I don't argue with Browning. I think it may actually have some merit in and of itself. But it does NOT apply to this case in the manner it has been thrusted out by Felos. You know that as well as I. Terri had no written instructions as to her medical treatment desires and food wasn't medical treatment when she fell ill.

The law changed the following year, in 1999, a year after the petition. You may want to read the End of Life Panel Report to the Florida Legislature. They were bothered by advanced directives that favored medical intervention because they were ‘confusing’. They didn't like that they had to wait until someone was dying to kill them. They didn't like that a family member from out of town had to be consulted prior to killing. They didn't like brain injured people.

Read it. It will make your blood run cold.

Most of the language was crafted by board members of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast - at a time when Felos was Chairman. I didn't discover this on my own. Someone enlightened me.

The fix was in on this case. Florida wanted this woman to die. Email me on phenn at yahoo and I'll give you all I got. But, stop thinking the rule of law has been followed here. I would suspect the failure of the court to remove an unfit guardian who doesn't file timely annual guardian reports alone should be evidence of that.

Terri's whole family left Florida. Friendships here remain strong but most of the events I hear about Terri are around DC or other places. Hospice's CEO died of cancer two years ago. So much for all the money she was putting in other shadow corporations. She's deceased too. Mary Labyak was her name.

The new guy was bragging in the local paper which had a name change to Tampa Bay Times. He was bragging how Hospice "took care" of his ninety something year old mom. Yeah, I bet they did. Fregards, Floriduh Voter PS: We just lost Congressman Young too. He was a decent guy who helped veterans and the disabled.

Ping. Hi, friends. My pc finally slowed way down. Until the new one’s hooked up, I haven’t been around that awful much. Tell everyone hello. I know I didn’t remember everyone’s screen names.

Hi, {{fv}}! Sorry to hear your pc finally kicked it — it gave its all for many years, that’s for sure! Here’s hoping you get your control center up and running again quickly. Meanwhile, we’ve got that nice cooler weather to enjoy. Take care, you and the critters.

Hi. Yep. This new pc is fantastic. Windows 8 isn't as big a nightmare as it was made out to be. The only hard part is that when I want to shut down, I have to wait for that menu to magically show up on the right margin. Big cat and big duck live downstairs. Little cat and little duck upstairs. Glad I don't have three floors. I'd have to hoard more animals.
