How will you die?

[DutchKillsRambo]

Of course we won't instead we will give a heart transplant at 85 y.o.. Our healthcare thing sucks.. We try to keep people alive for ever.

I forget the stats but a ridiculous amount of money in the healthcare industry goes to end of life care. Like a really disproportionate amount that blew my mind. It's where a lot of health insurance companies make their money back. But seeing two WW2 grandfather vets wither away, one of them a gunner at Anzio who grew up without shoes, the other beating malaria in the 1940's, just made me feel weird. Like I'm a total pussy compared to them, they both built their own houses for fucks sake. But seeing how they went... fuck that.

When I'm done, I'm done. And I don't want some uninterested LPN to have to wipe my ass. Rather have them have to clean up my brains. Still shitty, but at least its once and not everyday.

Well I'm sorry things worked out like that way for you.. I'm really lost for words.. Do you have children or a wife?

Life has me thinking a little right now.. I really need to stop smoking Cigs.. I'm only 31 and I have been smoking since I was 15..
If I keep this stupid shit up, I feel like I will have some kind of heart failure from smoking and years of abuse to my body..


I've had this strange feeling over the last couple years that I will pass away at 33.. Who knows?

Ride or die, baby..

I'm 37... I know I should quit cigs but then I'm thinking why.. I rationalize it ..with I like it, there will be cure for cancer by 2025, I don't want to live to be 90.. I wanna live before I die etc..

 

[texasjack]

Given my family history probably cancer. It already got my mom and looks like my dad has prostate cancer so yeah probably cancer.

Yeah I feel you brother.. But damn I want my heart to be healthy whrn I get old.. This Colorado elevation had taken a toll on my heart.. I dunno kno, I always said the same shit.

But this thread wasn't suppose to be about me.. I wanted to here everyones fears about death..

 

[Corso312]

I don't want anyone to ever take care of me, I'll go to Alaska n enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife and soak it all in very close up til a bear puts me out of my misery.

Every man gets prostate cancer, even a 80 year old dude has it and its only a matter of how aggressive it is...early detection is the key, get checked early n often..my dad had it 6 years ago..caught early n all good..

Hopefully technology will allow us to graft our DNA into our own strains we create so we can live forever.

I didn't mean for it to be dark if it came off that way, I thought the topic was death. I love life as it is for me now, I just know that could change at anytime, and eventually will. It's just being prepared, ya know.

And I've bequeathed my estate to my cat, as I view him as a son, so yes I have children.


He's in Sylvan now because he keeps fucking up in Math.

Put down the coffin nails and get on a mountain bike and your heart will thank you for the rest of your suddenly much longer life. smoke weed instead! It does NOT give you cancer, all the studies agree!

So I have people on both sides of my family who lived ninety years or more, not all were women. Uncle Howard danced at his ninetieth, I was there. His cousin, my grandmother, lived to be 104 10 1/2 months. My grandmother on the other side of my family died at 98.

I'm not half as afraid of dying as I am of outliving my retirement savings.

 

[Eltomcat]

Couple years ago I had a thing for Taylor swift lol. I chain smoked like crazy so I could get cancer, and do the make a wish thing. But I failed miserably..

 

[mr sunshine]

You ever see the results when somebody fucks it up and lives? Sometimes making sure the job gets done with gusto makes sense.

I'm in line for Parkinsons , dementia. I better buy a gun before I forget.
