Im at work and very bored. I work in the building trade...says it all really.
My rabbit died last nite. Im sad. I will miss her. She had a belter character. Aggressive, stroppy and bad tempered but i love her to bits. She died suddenly...as a result of an injury inflicted by another rabbit. Life is cruel.
Im listening to radio 2...(how old do i feel?)...lol. Theyve got this article on about that girl who has refused the heart operation aged 13. You know i think people really need to stop in their tracks amidst these leaps forward in science. A lot of procedures that are available are made at a cost...ie ...they are painful. The girl has obviously gone through a massive ordeal...why shouldnt she make the choice about her decision to go through with the op...its her body after all. I think if i was faced with the choice i would much rather be at home surrounded by familiar, comforting things than be in a sterile? hospital waiting for the end. Death is scary enuf without takin us out of our comfort zone to face it. My thoughts....good on her for havin the maturity to speak out. Leave the girl alone. As for the hospital calling in the child protection services...what a bunch of twats. Dont they realise how they cant treat all cases the same? These are people they are dealing with...not a bunch of generalised guidelines. What applies to one case doesnt apply to all. The sooner this agency is torn apart and restructured with some common sense the better. Maybe then it will be able to fulfill the purpose that it was originally made for...saving and protecting children!!!
