@@V-Smithwats it like would I be scared? I never been in a ventilator I seen a friend of mine on one can u even move? Or will they give I medication to make you stay still
@@dawonfields7360 I was oddly at peace, yet scared, all at the same time! I found myself being forced toward a very dark and horrifying end like a hellscape from which I would never be able to escape, all while feeling the effects of the sedatives coursing through my veins… I hear my physician tell my Dad that he and my Mother should be put making funeral arrangements rather than spending time with me as in his opinion I was “beyond help”! It was then that I KNEW IN MY SOUL that I had no choice but TO FIGHT & TO THUS SURVIVE!!! My Dad kept repeating (in somewhat of a song voice) “I La la la la Love You” over and over and over again… on a loop, while holding my hand and looking down into my barley open eyes…. Skip ahead several weeks (7 weeks in total) and when I was finally awake and after another week and some change of being weaned off the vent, and learning to use my tiny, shrill, squeaky voice; I said “Papa, I love you! You refused to listen to my doctor when he told you to go and plan my memorial service and instead you told me repeatedly that you ‘la la la la love me’ and even though I couldn’t respond vocally at the time, I responded with virtual hugs from my hospital bed, and you continued to ‘la la la la love’ me! It is because of this LOVE that I was able to hold on to life instead of giving in to death which was nagging at my soul, and thus it is because of YOU that I am alive right here and right now!” I said this right in front of the doctor who had so easily decided that I was beyond hope and the couple of nurses who had agreed, and they and my parents & my young daughter all had tears in their eyes!
Was on a ventilator twice for severe asthma once at 16 and then at 19 now 55 it’s something I’ll never forget I’m alive but to this day my voice is raspy but I’m here 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Unavailable beds means not enough staff not actual beds. Wake up, folks
It does because there might not be enough space for new beds.
VENT OUT ALL THE TIME BUT CYLINDER CONTAIN OXYGEN OR ANYTHING ELSE
