IS SHE OKAY?

IS SHE OKAY?

By Dr. Myrna Sedurante

 

Superwoman stroked out at age 84. Competent professor. Compassionate MD. A former head of 5 societies. Mother of 5 but everybody’s mom really. Now, with right-sided paralysis, spontaneous eye opening, PEG in place, no bed sore. Her expression is blank, and she closes her eyes when I stroke her hair.  So, I guess she’s okay…
