Joyce,

I don't mind hearing about what happened.  I know sometimes it's good to get 
out the emotions connected with grief.  I really feel for you.  I lifted you 
and your family up in prayer at church last Sunday.  I don't know what else 
to say except that my prayers are with you.

Regards,

Denise

Many thanks for all your thoughts.  A Special thanks for those   who have
stepped up and making Krafters Korner run along smoothly.

I hit home om Mondayas my kids gathered around me and I was with them and
got thru the planning of the funeral.  That will take place on Thursday and
Friday this week.

I am so numb over this all and my heart aches.  Basically, he had a  blood
clot in his lung [which causethe last week shortness of breath, weakness]
On Friday while in the VA Hospital breathing got worst, his hart rate went
into  afebrillation a piece of the clot broke off and stopped his heart. 
They
asked me to allow them to administer  a clot bust ing medication and they
told me they might even have to do surgery to remove the clot.  They had
givine him Heprin which was a blood thinner to stop the clot from getting
larger.    Phone calls started Friday morning 9 a.m. with the  last one
telling me he died around 2 p.m.  I never got up there until the  early 
evening.
A friend drove him up to the BA hosp on Thursday  morning.  I didn't even
know he had gone as I was on and off the phone  calling the hospital about 
how
to get him up there.

Sorry for this if it is more then you wanted to know.

I truly feel the VA hospital didn't do enough and too little to late   and
never gave me phone calls, answers or follow ups.

I found out while standing in the room with my husbands body from a doctor
when I asked about the original statement from the doctors 3 weeks earlier
That  according to a CT Scan he had colon cancer with a tumor that
perferated the  colon wall.  The doctors told me Friday night he did not 
have colon
cancer.  Biopsy done  proved that.  Oddly enough they did 4 CT  scans while
he was in the hospital 3 weeks earlier  and one scan they told  me showed
all that and then the others they could not visualize   it.  He went for the
colonoscopy and wanted to do another one with a better  cleaning out.  That
was scheduled for April 4.  They had him off his  Coommadin  medication 
since
they discharged him.  Maybe if they kep  him in the hospital and did the
colonoscopy  as that was what they told me  they  wanted to do while he was
there for the week and a half.  They  released him still in pain, breathing
was irregular, not eating and  diarrhea.  They failed him.
