I wasn't able to listen to Highway tonight. Can't wait to see the transcript! Thanks for your report. I don't understand what you meant by "saying Terri doesn't need skilled nursing care -- all are wanting her to have her freedom." It's late and I'm probably more tired than I realized until just now. Better go get some shut-eye so I can think again tomorrow! I'll be checking back in later. Please ping me if there is any news about Terri. In the meantime, ongoing heaven-sent prayers for Terri and all those who love her!

Don't know if someone posted this one but please tie in with Terri and spread about if you can:

re: skilled nursing care: It's what we already know, but Felos et al must hide and distort: the fact that Terri is in quite good health.

The fact is that Terri is NOT on her deathbed, suffering in pain, critically ill, or even a little sick, so she does not need any special care. She does not need to be in a nursing home or care facility at all; her routine daily needs can be met at home.

Happens for Christopher Reeve all the time. Works for me!

That's one of the things that gave me pause while skimming some articles last night -- the research was talking about terminally ill patients with cancer, COPD, etc, but then threw in comatose patients. It was going to take more reading and concentration than I was willing to give late/early? at night!

Stay warm up there -- keep those feet warm!
