Okay. So I guess we’re on a booty hole colon slide now?

Old people, I swear.

As a getting-old person, reading all this stuff utterly gives me the hair-standing-on-end creeps! I am so glad I never went to doctors or had any invasive tests or brutal exams done, and am determined more than ever to keep it that way. If it shortens my life by a few years then SO BE IT. I don’t have a death wish, and will continue to eat nutritiously and take care of myself to the best of my ability, but that’s it. God alone knows the number of my days.

I do not want to die in a hospital. When I get old and/or ill, I’ll make sure any of my remaining cats always have plenty of water to drink. They won’t go hungry before I’m found, when I die. They’ll know what to do - they’re cats, after all. And I’ll be pretty much organic, or at least drug-free, meat, though maybe a tad “stringy”; LOL...

I just do the test. Do the deed, send it away. Easy peasy.

They won’t go hungry before I’m found, when I die.

One cannot be so sure of that. Sometimes it takes weeks to find a dead old person.

I understand cats start with the eyes, before they dry up and then move on to the soft parts of the face, before tackling the more meaty parts.

Cat's were never your friend.

Dogs were, but they get hungry too.

Death is like the Discovery channel.

>>I do not want to die in a hospital.<<

I'm guessing most of us don't.
My grandfather, a WW1 combat vet who suffered the effects of mustard gas his whole life, was like that.

There were a few times I remember visiting him in the hospital and he wasn't in bed.
He was fully dressed sitting in a chair.

He died in a shoe repair shop downtown Chicago, of a massive heart attack. It's said he was dead before he hit the ground.
works for me.

I didn’t spend a day in the hospital in my life until I was 63

One stay made up for that two years ago.
Un diagnosed pneumonia caused a stress related heart attack
severe respiratory failure, while in a coma for 3 weeks I
contracted sepsis and colitis. I was intubated
5 weeks I was in and it’s all a blur to me.
