“Watching the slow progression of the disease made me realize it’s only quality that will keep me around and not quantity if I were to succumb to it.”
Totally agree. Wasting away is not living. It’s hell for you and everyone around you.
I watched the geriatric Dr’s go in and out of that room, the consulting fees, the visits, the amount of money being taken from them, everything they worked for being bled dry, the bills for shit I never even heard of from people we have no idea who they are.
I will not be dependent on someone, not like that when I won’t even know who that someone is even if it’s my wife or daughter.
Handing everything I worked for for my family over to people who most I believe genuinely do care, but still a for-profit money machine meant to bleed you dry.
I just won’t put my family through what I had to and I’ve told them that before I even married my wife 32 years ago, and again after I raised our 3 children to understand it too.
