[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 513624, member: 84"] AMEN! My kids don't get this, I suppose it's the age thing and that they don't have a long term illness they're dealing with at the moment that only gets worse over time. They get very disturbed when I bring it up, so I don't bring it up. I will die with [B]dignity[/B] though, and no one will stop me. I won't be a 89 yr old woman too feeble to even stand from her wheelchair who is in chronic renal failure / dialysis / and severe water restriction to the point where she spends 90 percent of the day begging for just a sip of water. There are sound reasons for fluid restriction with renal failure......lungs fill up with fluid and you can breathe, overloads the heart........But c'mon, at 89 does it [B]really[/B] apply?? Yes she had all her wits about her. Poor woman just didn't have the physcial ability to do the deed, the desire was most certainly there even after several ADs. ugh Broke my heart. And yes, I slipped her sips of water at certain points during the day. No one should have to suffer like that. Made up my mind then and there, that won't be me. Not even in my 50's. If it's that bad, do what you can with medications and dialysis and leave the rest alone. It's just not worth it. Her quality of life was zero. omg (found out later that several nurses were also slipping her sips of water, because it was just too hard to watch.) in my opinion such a plan is reasonable. I'm not sure how many psychiatrists or tdocs would share that opinion. I know many do though. [/QUOTE]
