I just want to apologise for being depressing before I start but I need to offload and I know this is the best place:A

For certain reasons I cannot give too many details but will try to explain best I can.

For the last week I have spent a lot of time in my local ITU sitting with a lady whom I have known for 15months. This is to do with my work although it does not normally involve hospitals and never situations like this The lady is only in her early 40's and through complications from a simple operation is now severely ill. Got told the weekend she is unresponsive and they think brain dead, although her heart is beating she is on a respirator. I have sat and talked, laughed and tried my best to be positive not knowing if she can hear anything I am saying:( I found out today that they will be turning the respirator off tomorrow and she will either die or breathe for herself but be faced with a life of 24hr care with no dignity:( . I know I should be more professional and it should not be affecting me this way but this is the first time I have been faced with such a sad situation. I don't know until the morning if I am expected to be there when it happens as she has no close family.
How will I be strong? I really don't think I can be

- my thoughts go out to you and a huge hug :A
I would be exactly the same if i was in your position, i cant imagine the pain your going through. its easy to get attached to someone even if we know we shouldnt and thats normal.
She will be aware of your presence and im sure is watching down happy and content knowing she isnt alone. you are so brave doing what you are.
if i could i would come and support you whilst she passes away. If she is brain dead she would not feel any pain- be assured that she is comfortable.
we are all here for you night and day.
Take care of yourself and know you made a difference to this womans life :A

I had a filling today, actually, a temporary one that was put in over a month ago was being replaced with a permanent one. Before the temporary one was put in I had slight sensitivity and slight pain now and again if chewing something hard like nuts caught it at the right place. Now I have permanent sensitivity and every chew, even something as soft as cake sends a shooting pain through the tooth. I'm not a happy bunny!:mad:

Moral of the story.......stop chewing nuts!!:p:rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry to hear you are in pain...I had a temporary filling replaced by a permanent composite inlay last Monday. By Monday night I was in a lot of pain, and like you, had sensitivity when chewing on that side. Back to the dentist Tuesday morning and he said the inlay was too 'high' so was affecting my 'bite'. He slightly filed the inlay down and explained that because the inlay was too high then it had affected my peridontal ligament and that was the cause of the pain. Only now has my mouth finally healed.
Maybe worth asking your dentist to check the filling...

Hope the pain improves very soon...x
