Do you have any plan for dying?
I know it is tough to know when where and how.. but any ideas on it?
I have to say most folks stories of how their parents died are horror stories. Long slow declines in some sort of nursing setting. Being 'saved' with medial interventions so you can rot even longer in a lingering Hell.
I have to say my sisters death from metastasized bone cancer was the worst I know of firsthand. The end was two months of torture. Death was a welcome relief for her.
My plan is when I am almost to the point of bailing out, I would go Northwest and drive into the wilderness, feed my carcass to the wolves. My bones could bleach for years undiscovered.
Polar bears would be better.. but they may be extinct by the time I am leaving this place.
If something happens in the meantime, I already have 'do not resuscitate' orders, if only they follow them!
The endless number of stories I hear about old folks and the dragged out lingering mind numbing crap they went through.. Jeez.
