Been left with no other recourse but to live with my last living grandparent thanks to falling behind on bills thanks to a medical hiatus from work and the subsequent medical bills that are now gonna follow for the next year and a half or so. He's a widower and has all the problems that come with old age. Dementia, hearing and vision loss, a clear inability to understand the concept of the path of least resistance, he never bothered keeping up with technology which also makes a chore out of every day simple things we take for granted. Granted, this will be most of us should we live as long as him, but seeing him fall apart up close and in person has me sincerely hoping I bite the big one long before I ever get to this point. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue for your average elder, as they usually have children, grandchildren, even great grand children, to help out, but the idea of me one day being overcome with dementia and hallucinations, and a general ability to function in what will then be the modern world at the time, with no one to keep me in line does truly have me sincerely wishing I die much sooner than later.
I know it's a long ways for most of you guys, but I can't help but warn you all with as much time to spare as possible. One day, your hair will turn grey, your teeth will fall out. You will lose your hearing, sight, short term memories, and motor skills. You're dignity will be shot to shit and you'll be to senile to know it, and assuming you don't end up in a loony bin, prison cell, or nursing home, you're gonna go through it all alone. Times like this, I sincerely wish I had just died in the middle of my recent surgery...
