[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 766120, member: 18958"] I have a very old friend who was in the situation medically that Rain is in, absent the drugs. Or worse. They were in Turkey for the year and he was unaware his blood pressure medicine was insufficient. He ended up with kidney failure and needed open heart surgery. I saw him last year. He seemed fine. But there has to be a pivot point. Since last night I have been wondering and worrying about Rain's psychological competence, at this point, to make good medical decisions or any good decisions. I agree she needs an advocate, if she would accept one. (Our children seem to have reduced their lives to just one speed, on or off. Sigh.) We know New Leaf that people stop meth. Even after years and years and years. They do. My town was a major transport hub from Mexico in the 90's. I see middle age people all over the town with the effects of meth on their faces, who are sober, and working. Or they tell me their before and after stories. She could do this. The pivot. [/QUOTE]
