sad news

["M.Schild" <mmoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite a lot of you know Camilla Flintermann, the owner of the Caregivers´ list 
and a great lady. With her permission I relay her message to her lists:


Dear  friends one and all;
I have just thrown  out 1570+ e-mails  without being  able to screen 
them  They came while i was in  the hospitals..
The doctors rushed me into dialysis, which was totally 
unexpected....I was not given a choice. After several days of 
treatment I was clear that I did  NOT want to spend the rest of my 
life attached to those machines.
I have connected with a local hospice, and also have my 3 great 
private aides to help me,and will be here in my cottage.
I am in good spirits and am very clear  that I have made the right 
choice.  If I were 60 and not  85 I might feel differently.  Friends 
and family have been very supportive.  From now on I will try to 
follow various list discussions, as you are all very close to my 
heart, I look forward to hearing from you.
