My Stoopid Question of the Week...

I am going into the hospital this week for a two part operation on my hernia, I don't think that I am totally prepared for all that can happen. I am someone who does not like to be under the someone elses control of my life. I am also looking at the fact that I can possibly die on the table. This is a possibility that I don't want to face just yet, at least not without a fight. I am not looking forward to this at all. I am hoping they have enough people to hold me down when they try to insert the needle in my arm for the anastethsia. I do not like needles at all, I become very combative when needles come near my body, I tell the doctors and nurses this information so they can take the necessary steps to do what needs to be done.

My stoopid question is:

How do you prepare for medical procedures, is there a way to be prepared for something that is beyond your control?

Now let's get to a subject.

I am thinking about setting up a new site that showcases my character that I have created for renaissance festival and faires. I have been wanting to get back to the renaissance performance for sometime now, though my job maybe endangered by Liberal efforts to disarm me of the equipment I use in my performances. but I digress.
The Site will be written from my characters point of view, picture a musketeer thrust some 500 years in the future, or some poor computer tossed back to the renaissance. Go there to enjoy some exageration from the french hero/anti-hero.

Stoopid Question Sunday....

Earlier Tanis and I had to make a hard decision involving our dog MacGyver. The decision was a very painful one that we felt wass best for him so he wouldn't suffer inthe long run. like I said earlier this decision was something that would eat at me for the rest of my life. I can not speak for the feelings of Tanis, but I can feel the pain she is bottling up.

So, here is my Stoopid question:

What is the hardest decision you had to make in your life or the life of a loved one and how did you feel or cope with the decision afterwards?

Evan

MacGyver Thank you for the time you spent with us, you were a true friend. We will miss you 

Life or Death, The Ultimate Decision…

Tanis and I had to make a very difficult decision today; we had to decide upon the life or death of MacGyver, our dog. We took Mac in to the vet today to get his shots and to get him Fixed; we found out that he had heartworms. We asked how much it would cost to treat him for the heartworms which was around three to five hundred dollars but the treatment involved low dosage arsenic to which the Veterinarian Stated that Mac’s treatment could kill him anyway (the worms dislodging from the heart into the Lungs or the arsenic). What do you do in that case? To top it off we don’t earn enough money to pay for the treatment.

We decided to put him to sleep, I hate having to make this kind of decision, whether something lives or dies. I know I can do it, but the pain just eats at you for the rest of your life. I have faced life and death decisions in my career as a Security Officer I have only had to draw my pistol twice in my entire career and never had to fire because the people who forced my hand realized I was serious about the defense of my life and the lives of others. Should they have continued with their actions I would have fired and taken their lives to prevent harm to myself and to others in the area at the time. It is a decision I don’t like to be forced to make. It is the same for MacGyver, we decided based largely on the fact that he would be suffering in all the cases and rather than have him suffer it would be better that he be put to sleep.

Needless to say, Tanis and I are heart broken with the loss of a member of our family: we are taking some time to grieve the loss and cope with the decision that we made to end his suffering.
