Dilemma

[Ellie]

I recall problems going back 11 years so I'm not sure if its standalone or part of mnd.

Could very well be linked Denise, they're closely related. xx

Stephen is having dementia diagnosis in January but what I don't understand is the different kinds of dementia. I recall problems going back 11 years so I'm not sure if its standalone or part of mnd.

matthew55 That's not my point re red lines: yours is your hands, mine is eyes or FTD, loving family or not, that's my exit cue. xx

I have to admit I have been wondering about how to quantify my own "red line" as I want to avoid being a burden to my family and shuffle off as quickly and efficiently as possible when the time comes.
As you can see in my profile pic I have a collection of firearms as a keen member of a shooting club. Since diagnosis I am having to consider how to sell them all, but I couldn't help having the thought "best keep one, just in case". Stupid thought really, since by the time I reached my red line I wouldn't be capable of pulling a trigger
My aunt died of cancer, and drifted off "in a cloud of morphine" as Rosemary put it above. I can see the appeal.
I watched my Father rattle away on his deathbed for 3 days before he expired. The medical team said they wished they could give him something to help end it quicker (which would have had the support of the family) but they just couldn't in the current legal climate.
We should be allowed choice.
