Hi.
Not in my case, it is a simple choice.
I have an inoperable heart condition, only one Coronary Artery still working and even that is a genetic abnormality, it is an extra one.
I had a quadruple bypass 18 years ago and that has stopped working.
My chest and ribs are held together with staples and wire.
I have so many injuries I do not have enougth spare bits to do another bypass.
I have no discernable pulse in my left leg and right arm.
I can have a stent fitted in my left groin, but at some considerable risk.
My right arm is gone.
I will not be smashing things with it again.
I still have use of it for normal day to day stuff.
I am not allowed to lift more than 20 kilos
My body will no longer do what my brain tells it to do.
I find it very annoying.
It is worse as a Yorkshireman as I am now having to pay people to do what I could do in July.
I can no longer use my SDS Drill or change a tyre on my car.
I have to have the Refuse Collectors take my wheelie bins up the steps.
I am an independent type of person, I do not like to be be beaten.
My planned retirement is gone, I will not be trying to catch a World Record Shark, Tuna or Grouper.
I simply no longer have the strength.
My Travel Insurance runs out in a year, so going to make the most of it until then.
The Medics tell me I could die within weeks.
I intend to defy them and have a great life until the day I do.
