Members Gray Bunny Posted August 31, 2014 Members Share Posted August 31, 2014 So sad.... She's such a funny and talented lady. Quick-witted right up til the end. I always hoped to see her in person one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have to disagree. As sad as it is, a true living hell is wasting away for years with alzheimer's, or something equally as bad, think Annette Funicello. If this is the end, Joan was vibrant and 100% here all the way up till the end. She's lived a full and exciting life, she said herself "If I drop dead today, I've had a GREAT life". Being totally fine right up until the end, is a blessing many of us hope for. Yes, it's sad, and I think Cooper and Melissa are more or less in "temporary hell" right now.... but it could have been MUCH worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 He meant a living hell for her family who watched her go in for a routine procedure and now have to face the fact she may never come out of it. That's absolutely a living hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 I meant her family was in a living hell, not here. I agree with your post. Thanks Vix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 Some reports are saying theyr'e going to bring her out of the coma to see how she is, and that talk of a lawsuit are being bandied about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 I can assure you that talks of a lawsuit would be the last thing Melissa Rivers would ever think about at this time. It will take several days for Joan's physicians to determine her condition. She may not emerge from the coma. She may be a vegetable. She may be herself. If she does emerge from the coma, for her sake, may she emerge herself. Otherwise, I hope it is a merciful release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 They say the coma is drug induced, so hopefully when they bring her out of it, she will be all there. It will take a couple days to know for sure, even after she's awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 My thoughts are with her family and I hope she wakes up for their sakes. It'd be ironic if this was the thing to finally shut her up and end her career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 The physicians induced the coma to prevent brain swelling. The coma has never been the issue for Joan, the brain swelling and oxygen starvation is. There is some likelihood that she may come out of the coma with severe brain damage. I pray for a miracle for her. She is one of life's great survivors and a personal hero of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've been kind of hopeful, to tell you the truth, because I saw my brother come out totally fine from being in a drug induced coma for 10 days, and unlike Joan, he coded 3 times! Considering she was in New York, and facilities were close at hand (as opposed to my brother's situation, where the hospital is 30 minutes away) her age is the only mitigating factor here. I wonder if she's breathing on her own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 No, she is not breathing on her own, she's been on life support since she was induced into the coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 That many times is the hard part, getting a patient off the breathing machines, so many times, it takes a couple of tries before they can take that horrible tube out. I'm sure they'll be doing breathing trials very soon with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SeanM Posted September 2, 2014 Members Share Posted September 2, 2014 I really hope for the best. I love her. I check the internet and social media every 30 minutes or so for updates. Hopefully we get some good news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 New updates today.... it's not looking good. The dolt that wrote this article obviously has no clue what someone means when they say a loved one is being "Kept comfortable". http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/joan-rivers-moved-private-room-hospital-article-1.1926347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SeanM Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 The latest news sound not very promising. It is all so sad. A week ago I still was amazed how vital she still is and the big working load she takes on all the time. I wanna see her like that again so badly. I love you Joan! You are one of my heroes.
