At age 85 and after a pinned hip last year, she fell ill just before Christmas and was taken to hospital, where we were told to expect her death. She desperately wanted to return home, to die there. The hospital was not willing to let her go. They put every possible obstacle in her way. Myself, my two brothers, and my sister worked tirelessly to see that she got what she wanted. We had a special hospital bed installed in her lovely house, positioned so she could see the world go by her window. We had an oxygen generator moved in. We arranged for a live-in housekeeper, and constant medical attention. The hospital told us she would not live through the ambulance journey home. We told them that every possible facility was now in place, and she wanted to go home, and we wanted to see it happen. Bear in mind that she was very weak throughout this, but compos mentis. She was taken back to her home. I was there to greet her. Her friends in her town rallied round. She was placed in her bed, and she was wearing the biggest smile I've seen her wear in years. I opened the "welcome home" cards (nobody was going to say 'get well soon' as everyone knew that wasn't going to happen} and she was smiling at every one. I told her my wife would be down in two days\ time with some of her jome-made honey, and she beamed widely again. She loved my wife's honey. She went to sleep still smiling, and died that night. My siblings and I are very happy that we managed to arrange what she wanted: to die, peacefully, in her own home. The Times will be running her obituary soon. She achieved rather more in her life than I, and certainly you, ever will. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

Well, I'm glad to see that you are at least a halfway decent human being, unlike your crass message to ukrm, where you asserted that she was "Just a Mother." May Lady Marjorie Murray, nee Culverwell, rest in peace. |
