Its a feeling of helplesness and that my hands are tied in a situation I don't want happening. Kinda like when you have that dream where you are running from something and can't run fast no matter how hard you try.
same here.
1998 christmas my dad had a near fatal stroke.
he was going in and out of ceasure(sp?)... what the hell do I do?
called 911 and kept him warm. stopped the bleeding on his forhead. he hit his head when he fell off the bed on the dresser.
I was okay until I was him again at the ICU. he didn't wake up for nearly 3 months. on the 2nd night I had to make the decision to put a pressure probe in his skull or not (they drill into his head). you don't expect things like this to happen.
that was the scariest moment of my life
