According to my Neurologist, I am progressing fast. I was officially diagnosed with a second opinion on June 8th. I turn 65 in November, have a wonderful husband, two adult children four grandchildren, and excellent friends. I have had a good life; however, I do not want to continue living this way. I am not depressed or suicidal, I just look forward to the end of this nightmare.
I was thinking about a Peg in case I can no longer swallow medication. I would like to have morphine and have a peaceful death, but can't they give that intravenous? I do not want it for feeding. I'm getting a trilogy because they said it would help me not sleep so much. I cannot stay awake during the day and I feel I am sleeping the rest of my life away. I agreed to this for this reason only.
I've got all my documents in order and my family understands how I feel. I, also, have long-term care insurance. When the time comes, I will use it. I love life, but my old life - not this life. . All I feel is I'm a burden, but I know my loving family does not feel this way. No matter.. Also, my husband is disabled. He has had four back surgeries, and he has drop foot in his left leg. He is my main caregiver, and he is in denial of how bad I will get. Probably because I have always been such a strong woman.
Does anyone else feel this way? If so, what are you doing to shorten the time span? Is the Peg a stupid idea on my part if I want this over sooner than later?
