It deffo isnt a straight line process mate. Thats why I said we all view it through our own lens.

As her stated next of kin, I had the say on a DNR for Nikki after her 4th cardiac in 2 hours. Her sis and Mum both said it could/would be cruel, so I respected their opinion. I "knew" she would pull through anyrate.

Jeez; in other news, son #1 has proposed to his GF and she said Yep the other day. She is an absolute treasure.

Indeed, every situation needs to be viewed individually.
Congratulations on the good news , my youngest son gets married in July, on the Bonnie Bonnie, banks of Loch Lomond . The bonus of course is knowing they are now settled and happy.
 

Hello everybody. The euthanasia topic is so emotive. I think I'm with @roydo's experience with his Dad. I would want to be able to make that decision for myself but like @blueloon there has to be family agreement and consent especially if there are any doubts about what the person actually understands. My brothers and I have been very fortunate ( if that is the appropriate word to use) that we did not have to deal with such decisions or parents with dementia. Mum had cancer but the paim relief was well-managed and she passed away without much pain. As you know Dad died in his sleep after having his tea, slagging off Everton and Rishi Sunak and just going to bed!

Huge congratulations to the happy couple.

Pain wasnt too much of an issue, but that ^^^^^ was also part of his thinking. He was offered a (risky) surgery slot a week or so before Nikki's funeral, but declined it so he could say farewell. In his mind, there was no point nor value nor any help for Mum in him being continuously treated for a condition that could not be cured, was not painful, and used up pints and pints of blood that could be put to better use, every 4 weeks.

That said, we all view this stuff through our own lens/experience.

I cannot even imagine what you were going through at that time mate. I know time is supposed to be a great healer but I do feel for you…..

You know what H. I look at that and see my brother who passed away just before Cal. Could you WhatsApp it to me if I PM you with my mobile no. I'm up in Liverpool next month and would love to show it to his kids (I say kids but they're both nearly 40 now😀)

Not a problem or you could try screenshot and save it to photos on your phone whichever is easier for you.

That’s the answer Fred, put in photos, then press do not pass go, switch your phone off then on again, have a gin, stand up and sit down twice, walk around the room, now call out to the great god of technology Apple three times, delete the photo, put your phone in the fridge, have another gin, press like, have another gin and a piece of toast, turn around four times, retrieve the phone from the fridge and everything should be ok…don’t worry, no charge for tech advice……

I'd have believed you if it wasn't for the bit about the toast 😀
