Yes, that is what happened with my mother. She had open heart surgery and she never really recovered either. A week later, she died.
Anesthesia (sp) in older people is a BAD THING. Rapid decline tends to follow.

It was my FIL he hung on for 8 weeks of pure misery. Eventually his kidneys failed from all the plaque that they dislodge he eventually passed on from Kidney failure - His choice to stop the dialyses - he came to made his peace and was gone 36 hours later surrounded by family. The 300 to 400K to the medical profession really irked me.

I'm really sorry about that, I saw the same thing with my inlaws. They had terrific insurance, so any time the hospital got ahold of them, we'd have to pry them out of the place. I can't imagine how much they would have owed.

Dammit - he was one of RFC's characters and one of the most long standing posters. I know he hadn't posted much in a very long time, but his posts were and will be missed.
Hand salute, Moosie!

Oh gee, that makes me so sad. I know I dont post here very often but I read regularly and for years when Ive had ribs or read recipes about them ive thought of him. Well, Im sure he's aware of how highly he was thought of, not just here but in his personal life. Bless his heart. Maybe he'll help get the buffet ready for the rest of us when we get there.

Good-bye Moosie.
Although I can't bring myself to boil ribs in your honor, I'll raise a glass.
Come on. Just two ribs. This Sunday, I'm going to BBQ 6 racks of ribs, but for Moosie, I'll trim off 2 ribs from the largest rack and boil them. I just might post pictures on alt.binaries.food if I remember to take some.

Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!
Oh Sue, I am truly sorry to hear this. Ed and I weren't exactly friends, but he was an important part of r.f.c. and close to many folks here. I am saddened and send my condolences to his family and his r.f.c. friends.

Unless you are really prepared for it, seeing someone after open heart surgery ain't like it is in the movies. Your first view of the person is devastating.
Looking out from inside ain't exactly a thrill either.
Moosie and I had a "pretend feud", and one of the ruses was that we'd strafe each other if we crossed to the other's side of I-5. I live 7 miles from his house, and even met St Mavis there, once, and he'd been to my house, too. blacksalt
I always enjoyed reading his comments about St Mavis. I always got the impression she had her hands full with him (in a nice way!) Goomba

Sorry about your fil. I'm happy he's at peace.
Yep

It's staggering how much they owed and to a ton of doctors most of whom we never saw. It seems like every day a new doctor with a different specialty "looked in on him" or read the chart or was on call on the 7th green and sent a bill for several hundred dollars. It was staggering no wonder Medicare is in trouble (raising rates). I don't want to get started but the medical system here is broken.
While I have been unpacking my kitchen (just moved from Boston to MN), I have been reminiscing about conversations in rec.food.cooking when I was a frequent poster (mid nineties up till 2000 or so, I guess). Just yesterday, I found a special place to store the enormous lead-filled meat mallet that Moosie made for me in his woodshop after hearing me complain about the lightweight pounders in the supermarket. He also sent two salad forks with roosters on them, along with a note reminding me to study hard and that he knew I was a "good girl." I loved those forks so much, I was afraid to use them. I think I've only set them on the table once or twice in ten years, but I do rub mineral oil on them to keep the wood supple.
Anyway, I remember the chicken leg story, and also his proclamation on grape jelly: "I learned that it is best not to try every thing one reads about here like grape jelly in meatballs." I am deeply saddened to hear about his passing. I hate to ask, but is St. Mavis... still around? Sue (or anyone), is there an address or something that I could send a card?
