There are four days left. Might want to hold that thought.
Just heard on the radio after watching rogue one :ph34r:
Sucks. Seemed she was recovering :(

Honestly, I was expecting the worst from the time I first heard the word "ventilator." 10 minutes not breathing and then being put on a ventilator are signs that there's some irreparable damage- that exact combination is what did in my GF's grandfather two years ago.
2016... the year that keeps on taking. :(
Just awful. :(
I didn't realize she was only 19 when she first did Leia.

Sometimes teenagers can seem quite mature.

How old were you?
Favorite non-Star Wars Carrie Fisher Role(s)? For me it has to be the murderous ex-GF in Blues Brothers or Marie in When Harry Met Sally, honorable mention to Carol in The Burbs, which was stupidly one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. :blush:

Nothing wrong IMO with the pic itself. It's the caption that was in poor taste-- "RIP Carrie Fisher, you'll always have the best buns in the galaxy".

Yeah, a lot of heart attacks you can literally walk yourself to the hospital, you never lose your pulse or even consciousness. That's the kind you could survive 15 minutes before your plane lands, with a quick ambulance pickup/ride to the ER immediately upon landing (hell, some minor heart attacks people have at home and never know it.) But I heard she was in full arrest on the plane, that it took 15 minutes to land, figuring it was another 10 to the ER afterward, I knew she was gone. Almost
no one comes back from that.
There are a few different heart rhythms seen in cardiac arrest, the various arrhythmias and even asystole (when you're truly flat-lined), CPR basically might extend the 4-5 minutes you have before you're brain is gone for good by a few minutes--at best. That's why CPR has such a low rate where the person ever makes a full recovery, particularly CPR outside of the clinical setting. When people go into arrest in a hospital nurses may perform CPR for the short period of time before a defibrillator is used to try and correct the arrhythmia or something like an adrenaline shot is used to try and stimulate a heart in full asystole back to beating, but 20-25 minutes of CPR just isn't something people come back from.
There's various reasons even in a clinical setting this will be done (deciding when to call it is a problem to this day), my wife often tells a story from her residency in ER where there was a doctor who was known for being able to get pulses back into people almost miraculously. One code she worked the guy was without a pulse for like 30 minutes but they had kept up CPR and etc, and finally got him a pulse. But the reason it's so weird--the guy was brain dead (as anyone would be after so long.) All the doctors did was create a "simulation of life" so that the family could have a last moment to decide when to pull the plug.
When I heard how long she was down, and that she was "stable on a ventilator" I had a suspicion the medical staff had simply gotten her pulse back but that she had suffered brain death some time on the plane, and the family was just making arrangements/coming together to pull the plug.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well. You don't go from cardiac arrest at least half an hour away from ER to stable overnight, unless it's Terri Schiavo kind of stable.
Apparently her mother, Debbie Reynolds, has been hospitalized with suspicion of a stroke.

She had that when Eddie left her for Liz Taylor.
And she's dead.
Rest In Peace now for the both of them.

Good grief, losing your sister and mother on successive days. :(
Imagine how Billie Lourd feels. She's only 24, and she's lost her mother and her grandmother the week of Christmas.
At least the world mourns with her. :(
A very sad business :(

I didn't realize she was her daughter till now.

:unsure: so you're also unaware that Eddie Fisher left Debbie for her best friend at the time, Elizabeth Taylor?
Fun fact; they were both 19 years old when they were in their breakout movies; Reynolds in
Singin' In the Rain and Fisher in
Star Wars.

You misunderstood. I said I didn't realize Chanel No.3 was Leia's daughter.
