My mother lived to be 83, and the last 3 years were torturous. IF/when I reach that point, I hope some family member lets me go.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-42447771400029602132013-12-17T16:17:35.324+00:002013-12-17T16:17:35.324+00:00Mel, I agree it doesn't make happy reading, bu...Mel, I agree it doesn't make happy reading, but at some point in the future it will have to be faced.

Try not to worry about bigger problems like euthanasia to cure over population of the aged. To be naughty now, I would prefer sterilisation of anyone without a job ~ she says with tongue in cheek. I hope the next week is peaceful for you ~ not too much rain.

I'm not sure if I'd like to be one of those fortunate centurions. After a certain age I'd be concerned about the quality of life. But hey, this is coming from a relatively younger person, and with age comes wisdom, so I might be spouting terrible ideals HermanTurniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448138758753193112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-78388332008218913422013-12-17T02:33:25.154+00:002013-12-17T02:33:25.154+00:00oh when my time comes i will probably just walk of...oh when my time comes i will probably just walk off into the woods....that way they have no choice to make for me...i dont want a machine to keep me living...<br /><br /><br />hey good stuff on a good kidney eh? smiles.<br /><br />and i hope they get your machine fixed....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-37313172441391747102013-12-17T01:36:54.637+00:002013-12-17T01:36:54.637+00:00So good you and Joe can have your Christmas.

Our Christmas will be quiet but at least we'll be at home.<br /><br />I feel quite strongly about the ageing population and the fact that medics keep us oldies going for longer, perhaps, than they should. My friend and I discussed this today and we both said we didn't want to go on until we're either a burden or don't know what's going on around us.<br /><br /Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-2908167239594668042013-12-16T16:50:20.350+00:002013-12-16T16:50:20.350+00:00"One thing he did say though was that the ..."One thing he did say though was that the 'good' kidney was in fact in very good condition.
