Re: Paralyzed accident victim fights for right to
I often wondered what my mother thought when she was in a similar state after a medical procedure. She was totally paralized on her right side, blind, had a 3 word vocabulary and was totally dependent upon others in order to survive. She was aware of her surroundings but was basically trapped in her body, unable to really communicate anything beyond her basic needs: hungry, thirsty, etc. The only way to communicate with her was to ask her simple yes/no questions.
Many times before the incident she stated that she did not want to be in such a situation like that. But she lived 10 years in that condition. It was horrible for everyone involved.
