BUMP
I for one did not think it would actually come to starving a helpless woman. I thought about driving to FL during the whole time -- but there was always one more thing to hope for; and honestly, I hoped there would be more than enough local people there -- to raise consciences, etc.
I did witness locally on Good Friday. Could not abandon her on that day of all others . . .
BUMP again
"Woodside, with room for 70 patients, is a small part of Hospice's $90-million-a-year operations. Hospice paid about $40,000 for off-duty Pinellas Park police officers to provide security, in addition to officers assigned there by the Police Department, Labyak said. That money came from a "quality of life" reserve fund that usually fulfills last wishes such as helping one patient fly to Peru to visit her mother."
They also interviewed some of the medical staff.
ROUTINE RETURNS A SENSE OF CALM
Notice the attempt to make sweet Terri's Death Chamber look so benign and lovely, with cute little accessories and decorative touches to quell the jittery nerves of the public so they'll not doubt how "peaceful" Terri's death was.
This is the room where Terri suffered, where that lovely sunlit view to the outside was denied her, where she writhed in pain, thirsted for a mere drop of water, and struggled for breath .. until her dried up body just ceased functioning.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET
