What her dad told High Court
This case is causing me anxiety and I want to get it over with as quickly as possible. I am 76 years old and as a result of my heart condition and surgery I am on blood thinners which have had an effect on my breathing.
I am unable to walk far, or up many stairs. I can’t manage to take more than 30 or 40 steps without getting winded and needing to slow down until I have caught my breath. I have had a cold for three to four years which is connected to my heart and lung issues. I am clinically obese, and I have gained more weight during the past months because I have been unable to leave my house to take any exercise. I am pre-diabetic.
I don’t know what the position will be in several months’ time. I have not been back to Chula Vista hospital and although I see a local doctor and I am willing to see a doctor to have my heart and lungs checked, I do not want to know whether I now have cancer or any other serious conditions. None of my male relatives has ever lived beyond 80 years of age. I am a realist and I could die tomorrow. The sooner this case takes place the better.
