LEGALIZING PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED DEATH:

It is a very good article from WWW I feel very grateful that I was able to choose life not everybody is able to choose. I wish some things were better but feel l still have have a purpose to life. I can be a voice, teach comparison, love my family, have a life it's still me, and I value it. I am on life support but still have dreams and goals and may live a long life. Yes I advocate for improvments and I'm still learning. But would not change my choice of life. I kind like being me.

I am still working on healing my g-tube. It's been an adventure of trial and error an hopefully finish that chafer soon.

I am in the Middle of moving with all 8 of the GSS residents who are trach-ventilated. It feels sad to move into a complex continuing care , called Norwood Capital Care Centre (see photo) from assisted living and some others are upset. It is connected by tunnels to The Royal Alexandra Hospital (large acute care..Where I was born), The glamorous Rehabilitation Hospital/School (my elementary school..Played hookey and went AWAL through the tunnels...occationally) and The Hys Professional Building. I feel like I'm going home and am getting more excited about the Big M. Day.

The Norwood has been total supportive negotiating every 2 weeks for 6 months our rasom lists. The region is spending big bucks to start the 16 bed project in time may expand to the entire floor. I may even get a volunteer to help me blog. This all is promising. I move Wed, May, 10. I think will be challenging at first but worth the disruption.

I have been meeting monthy regarding the First Ever Edmonton, AB ventilator conference. It stems from our letter writing. It's very exciting. I am working with my mentor Gary McPherson www.garymcpherson.con used a trach-vent for over 30 years but trained how to Frogbreathe using voluntary muscles so NOW ONLY uses a vent with mouth piece while sleeping. We are also working the New provincial Office of Disabilities and a few other organization. We have a wonderful hotel booked it is in September 2006 all the speakers are almost booked. I will blog the details soon.
