Other than maybe sepsis if something gets caught in one of the 'pockets'...? I'm sure Patrick will be watching her like a hawk though... I'm so pleased with the news so far.
You have no idea how bad I feel about the post that you quoted... not your fault, at all... it's just that the person I was talking about passed away recently... right after I told her son that she was going to be alright. So upset with myself....We had a patient at the Trauma Center, who used copper wire to stitch himself closed when he fell and he was telling us how "all this first aid stuff is so easy" and that he didn't know why we "make a big deal of it." What he overlooked while stitching himself closed, was the infection that he got from doing it himself which had turned to sepsis.
He also used concrete to remedy his broken ankle and it took 45 minutes for us to cut through the concrete so we could apply a plaster of paris cast.
The guy was one major piece of work, one of those people who the doctor said "has just enough knowledge to be dangerous." As in the saying 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.'
I didn't know what that saying meant until after we had this guy as a patient.

Dear Flake, none of us is perfect, despite having the best of intentions. Your friend's son understands and appreciates your motives, and without a doubt does not share your thoughts that you failed him in some way by being kind. For my part I'm proud of you, though not surprised that you care enough to try to help.You have no idea how bad I feel about the post that you quoted... not your fault, at all... it's just that the person I was talking about passed away recently... right after I told her son that she was going to be alright.

Good word.Whatever the evil is, big or small, illness or injustice, to do nothing is the worst thing... your caring is the better way, Flake....
Have you talked to Pat lately? Does he know your feelings about this?Spidey, Frank and Ebdim... thank you very much for this... I had been talking to Patrick quite soon before his Mama left us and had just finished telling him how the diagnosis would be no problem... and I truly believed it--I bawled and bawled when I heard she was gone, and felt so awful for possibly getting his hopes up when in the end there actually was none.
If I could go back... I would change how I dealt with hearing her diagnosis if I could... anything to have made what was coming easier for him.
I have corresponded with him, but I couldn't tell him--I don't want to make him feel worse than he already does... what happened wasn't really anything about me, I don't want to make it about me... which might happen if I talk to him about it.Have you talked to Pat lately?

Yer a gentlewoman.I have corresponded with him, but I couldn't tell him--I don't want to make him feel worse than he already does... what happened wasn't really anything about me, I don't want to make it about me... which might happen if I talk to him about it.
I think he probably knows that I just wanted the best for him and Mama... but it's something that I wish I could have done better, that's all.
