I find myself thinking about death too often these days. It scares the hell outta me. Not death, but the dying part. Some people get lucky and die in their sleep, but for many there is great suffering. Scary shit!! I can't even comprehend all the people that suffered alone dying during covid.

I hear what you are saying. My father died in his sleep in his mid 60s. I just turned past the half century mark, now I worry about what years I have left and what they will be like.

Besides luck I think part of dying with dignity and less pain is knowing when to say no to further treatment and go for comfort measures. Also make sure you have an advanced directive so if you have a terminal diagnosis some well meaning relative can't intervene. But quality end of life is an issue we are starting to deal with, finally.

Thats good advice, and I really do need to get an advanced directive filled out. My mom didn't;lt have one and I'm sure she would have wanted things to end a lot differently...And she was a retired nurse...It was hard to see the shit care she got...I sat by and was here advocate as much as I could be, but I have a lot of guilt.

I just got some bad news at the doctors, but I kind of made it better.

No steroid injections until 30 days after final covid injection...That would have left me in a bad way. I was just able to reschedule my 1st covid vaccine for this Sunday though, and the 2nd on April 11th I believe, so I should be able to get another steroid injection 2 months from today. Not 1 month like I wanted, but better than 3 if I waited for the covid test! And after talking to my friend last night I do not want to wait!!

You can only do what you can do. I don't believe your mom would fault you for not doing enough. :hug:

Hacked down my last 2 plants. Going to clean up the room and wipe it down to make sure there is no pollen left in there. I need to add a board to my pedestal to keep the plywood sheets from bending when I stand on the middle of it. I have some clones I vegged in the closet to swap in there. Going to polish the hood and move it out about 6" prior to firing it up also.

Drove to "the big smoke," Sydney. 4 hours of torrential rain, flood, evacuation warnings. Pissing down. Picked up our shipment of work stuff. Wife can drive home and I can study..... how to grow weed without asking too many stupid questions on RIU. Thanks guys and gals..
