I...Thank you so very much for the tribute to Gary. I copied the blog post and included it as part of the memory board along with the story by Michael Heaton and the Grapevine Photography Project that appeared in the Plain Dealer in 2007.<br /><br />I apologize for not responding sooner. Less than two weeks after Gary's passing I ended up in the ER with elevated heart rate. A week later I was coming out of an induced coma minutes prior to being removed from a ventilator. <br /><br />Although a terrifying moment at the time, I was presented with something uniquely ironic - physically experiencing my own observation of Gary's experience on a ventilator.<br /><br />I will be blogging about this very soon especially since my rights as a patient were horribly violated and my pleas for help including my request for a patient advocate were ignored.CynDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885639183328406991noreply@blogger.com
