From JW. I want to thank everyone who responded to my post about three weeks ago. My wife Rose passed away on Sunday the 20th. On Friday we had a Celebration Of Life attended by her family and friends. Tonight is the first night that I am home alone with our dog. So far it is OK.
I am really doing this post because her cause of death was "disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)." You all should do a little Google research on this. She had three things going against her regarding DIC. She had lung cancer, she had received two units of whole blood, and she was receiving chemo treatments. I am not blaming anyone including the doctors. However, if I had been aware of DIC I would have been looking for any signs. If you don't catch it very early, it can't be controlled. She died from uncontrolled internal bleeding. Fortunately, she didn't suffer long. She was sitting up with granddaughters at noon, even though she was in pain. By 5pm she was gone.
She is missed by a lot of family and friends.
