Truckers Report staff

Sheila is still working at/for TTR.
I got a email from her recently.

 

Bullhaulerswife, still around. Just last month we got a putting this section on notice from lol

 

Hope your mom is doing better.

 

Im sorry to hear of this. Some people have turned up missing, down the river as we say here in the South. Be nice to gather up the town and let em know they aint missed too much or are way too much depending on who is the one doing the missing. =)

 

That doctor's constant pulling of those two magic words into the discussion is a dangerous one. It's almost he is more than ready to foster your mom off to the hands of the State run Nursing home god know where that would be far away or right down the street. We have spent time inside a few as State workers dealing with dementia as a specialty until we have had enough and got out.

I applaud those Advanced Directives, I have a set for the ex and if something happens I'll stick to them even if it kills me. And there is a set for me which is somewhat different and more involved than hers is.

The real danger is those People who FAIL TO SPEND 100 dollars to any lawyer in your state to cause a Medical directives to be written up and a person assigned to carry out your living will and wishes. YOU might find yourself tied to a excruciating form of life support for potentially hour, days and months because that court requires you to.

The day your Mom starts babbling to this doctor is most likely a permanent life changing day he appears to be waiting for.

I say this because I feel there is a problem coming based on your very specific writing which tells me that your Mom is loved.

My ex occasionally gives me a hard time when I have too much of a given pain situation causing the medicines to turn me into a babbling idiot unable to hold a rational conversation.. at times. On those day's we take what is called a drug holiday, literally starting at 30 hours since last dose of anything and lasting 8 days and nights. enjoying the sharpness of mind and body so that we can catch up on things and get it done. As far as the pain? A couple of fifths of spearmint strong drink made here in Arkansas does the job very well for managing pain as happened many a night long ago in my life and never has really stopped that role in life.
