Hi, my mother was 77 when she died on July 25. She was fine the night before.She had lots of problems; had a pacemaker, had dementia, double amputee due to vascular issues and she was on coumadin. At 3 a.m., she was rattling her bed to summon her caretaker. Caretaker said she lost control of bladder and was sweating. Changed her and bedding and mom seemed okay and went to sleep. At 7:30 a.m., found mom kind of sideways on her bed. Lifted her hospial bed a bit, so that she could breathe easier. Didn't say much, just , "oh God, Oh God," then when asked shook her head that nothing hurt. Also, tried to say caretakers name, but not clearly. She was gone before 1 p.m. Can anybody tell me if they think this was some sort of stroke? No other symptoms, like crooked smile, she was moving her arms, but had no legs, so we don't know about that. She was also a little warm, but not terribly. Also, her lips were very red. Mom had something similar happen in the winter of 2011, just few months earlier, but it passed quickly. I am just looking for some answers. I pray for all of you and your families.I just need some answers. I am wondering if she could have been saved, or did she have too many problems. I read online that amputees live up to 5 years only. It will be five years in September since her first leg was taken. 2 years ago since her second.
