What if?
I reiterate my sadness as a compassioniate human for the sorrow in the case of Terry Schiavo. I am blown away by the involvement of all unintrested parties. I can't help but to cringe at the thought of how close we are to total invasion of every aspects of our lives. I know this case has sparked many conversations across the nation in homes and business alike. Advance directives is something I routinely inquire of my patients upon every admission. Here in Michigan living wills are not legally binding at this time but are great avenues of communicating your actual treatment wishes such IV lines and ventilators. Durable power of attorney for health care is the legally binding wish of your needs. Follow my link to the Hospice of Michigan-Advance Directives page for more information. We also need to respect our little bit of privacy we have left and cherish it. I think what we choose to share others is our choice. This blog is a inside of who I am and my family. This is a place where I can speak about what is on my mind freely and share my poes with those who wish to read. I have seriously considered the book idea. I just need to get it going. I have so many thoughts and ideas I am not sure where to start or the style in which I should write in. For now this blog keeps my creative juices primed and I am enjoying it. Maybe someday I will stumble across a publish author willing to give the push I am looking for.

I wish those who rushing to bring about Schiavo death in the deluded spirit of honoring her wishes could read Linn Ullmann's new novel GRACE. It's the most thought provoking and harrowing depiction of how wrong the most well-meaning people can go promoting death with dignity. Dignity, a moral vanity, is the last thing we should be concerned with when facing death.
