Euthanasia

[Rock98Dog]

I had dupuytren surgery on my right hand in early November, so 9 months ago. I had the same surgery on my left hand 20 years ago. For those that don’t know what that involves, they basically cut you from the second joint on the affected finger to your wrist in a zig zag pattern so they can spread the hand and clean out the problem.

The one 20 years ago was really no big deal, you wear a splint for four months, do hand exercises, and I had full use right after that. This one is way different, same routine plus I did physical therapy this time around. Nine months out and still haven’t recovered more than 70% of my hand strength and flexibility.

Point is, the body just doesn’t heal the same way when you get older, but you are young enough to get past this, rifle. Just don’t do it again when you’re 60.

Hospice and lots of morphine, my friend.

That's just not how I want to go out.

I wouldn't. I also wouldn't end it with a quick gunshot. Why? It's inconsiderate to the people that have to clean that up.

Which is one reason why euthanasia should be legal for terminal illness.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

speaking of that...what does the good book say about all of this.

Nowhere does the Bible say suicide is a sin.

Ancient cultures understood medicinal ways to end physical suffering. This isn't a new concept.

The physical therapist has said since day one that this will take a solid 12 months before I feel somewhat back to normal.

I don't know all the medical stuff, but I do know that if anyone I know can work hard and get past this it is you. You have an incredible work ethic when it comes to your physical condition.

My fat ass as been through a lot of PT the last 10 years. Admittedly for less of circumstances, but it would have been easy to quit, it's hard for sure. If I can get better, and I did, you absolutely will.

Whatever, moron.

What is it with you maga morons and your obsession with gay stuff?

Dude was in incredible shape before the accident. He was for a reason, his work ethic at it. I can admire that, I never had the will power for it.

Sorry you are going through this, that's brutal. Having a mother who dealt with Alzheimer's for 8 ears and watched her wither away to a vegetable; I can say without reservation that if Kevorkian were around and that was an option, she would have taken it. I would too, given the same circumstances. I don't want to put my wife and daughters through that.

You ask what is it with us? And then double down. Logic not your strong suit. ****tard.

I’m not a fan of chiropractors for back pain manipulation (especially not the neck), but I do think they understand posture and yoga-ish things better than physicians. I have had luck with home PT for minor back tweaks. Doing this in weekly or so has been a God send.

Two of my massage therapists are on the line of being too new-agey for me. One does lymph drainage each time I am with her (it feels like she barely touches me, yet it somehow manages to drain toxins from those areas?). They also are pushing me to have acupuncture to help with many issues including scar tissues that is forming internally.

How does that impact jerking it?

Thanks. Sorry that you went through that. I've read some recent stuff about Alzheimer's and new discoveries. It's a brutal disease.

Thou Shalt Not Kill

And yet, Jesus came to this planet with the full intention of committing suicide. Not everything is as cut and dried as one might think.

My grandmother went through Lewy Body Dementia. I wouldn’t ride that one out.

Dude's been through a lot, and he's got a lot ahead. He's got doubts that he will heal and that's normal. A friend offers encouragement. Assholes like you on the other hand....which brings me back to the other day, damn straight we are not friends, you are a scumbag.

Lymphedema therapy is well known in my world (it treats/manages limb swelling), not sure about trauma stuff though…and the “toxins stuff” - yeah your instincts are right there…a little too new agey for me.

Acupuncture I’ve heard can help with pain but I’ve heard mixed reviews.

If there is a particular body part/joint bothering you I’d figure out what orthopedic doc works on those and ask them - “if this was your back/knee/hip, who is doing your PT?” Then go to that person.

That's terrible. I hope one day we have the answers for treatment and a cure.

Me too. It's a cruel and brutal disease.

It's a tough thing to experience and watch a loved one go through it all.

Isn't that what Robin Williams was diagnosed with and contributed towards him punching his own ticket?

You are a scumbag. Stupid one at that.

Good for you. So void of personal relationships you find friends here. That's not surprising at all. You guys make a cute couple. He puts a lot of emphasis on message board life too.

It took you nine hours and an overnight sleep to gather your thoughts, then come back and respond to the same exact post you had earlier without anybody responding in this thread? You really are a loon, huh?

Just busy. Traveling. You know...

 

[riflearm2]

No, we don't know, because you lie about your travel status to try and keep up with me.

 

[30CAT]

Anyone trying to keep up with you would be backing up. Why would they waste their time?

 

[19MU88]

No I don't boast about that stuff. You know that too. I guess that head injury didn't knock lying out of you
