Getting Old!!

Sad tellings here.

It is one thing to say one will self-terminate and another to do it.

A good start though is a living will. Mine says essentially that if an event occurs whereafter I shall not likely revert to a normal standard of life as I am used to, then "do not resuscitate".

I signed mine about 6 months ago and felt good doing it.
I never ever want to be a burden on anyone.
 
If you live correctly (exercise, the right food, etc.), there is no reason you cannot live to 95 and still be active and mentally awake.

In other words, live well and you won't become a vegetable in an old age home.
 
yes all good but the body shutting down is kak anyone that falls asleep well still being able to go to the toilet doesn't happen often

All good and well, but hospital staff are notorious for "forgetting" that this documents exists - because money.

My brother lost his wife about a year ago.
She couldn't walk,bath herself or any other things humans can do.
He has been through hell and back for at least the last six years.
She ended up bed ridden and eventually was hospitalized.
Every day for a few weeks they would call him and say she was dying.His answer was don't call me until she has passed on.She had a DNR will.:(.
It was a great relief for him and his three daughters.

Yeah, we had a work colleague that had MS and picked up a case of encephalitis, she was basically dead/back from the dead half a dozen times before she finally passed.

Life can be pretty random sometimes, you don't know if you're going to go at 29 or 92.
 
Have been feeling it the last few weeks. Where I would be up till 11pm or midnight, I now struggle to get to 10pm.
