Obviously the end is near but tell me, will the doctors just leave me to fight for every breathe when the end comes? It is a vision of Hell!
Great reply Jean.
I just had The Dr for a colonoscopy call and tell me he need my pulmonologist to ok it before I go under.
He said I could wind up hooked up to a respirator after the procedure. Especially if there is a tear or rupture of my bowels.
