Experiencing firsthand how difficult an aging alcoholic, quadriplegic, post stroke, narcissistic, demented or simply ‘nothing’s wrong with me, I can drive, I don’t need those meds, I don’t need to go to a nursing facility’ kinda parent surely gives you some insight on what to do, what not to do and how to prepare for our own aging and eventual demise.
How do you plan to age gracefully and what advice do you have for us all?
Fuck that noise, I hit 70, I’m heading into the woods with some pills and whatever else I can get my hands on and just not coming back. Let some coyote munch my bones after I go out high as a kite
Many people say this, almost nobody does it.
Well, anything can happen in two decades.
But I’ve got some supplies set aside just in case, whether the in case is then, or because something untenable happens in between.
Do you have no next of kin?
Currently, yeah. No idea what it’ll be like in twenty years.
Not that it matters, it isn’t about them, it’s about what I’m willing to put up with just to squeeze out more years
