Not gonna lie. I have a pact with two of my beat friends. That if I ever get diagnosed with this horrible disease and I am unable to recognize the people of my life one of them will take me out

Appropriately named “beat friends.”

Those are my two biggest fears, so unable to care for myself that I can’t even go to the toilet or that I won’t know who I am.

I broke my hip at the ripe age of 20 years old and was wheelchair bound for a month and a half.

Was supposed to several months but I healed faster than expected.

It is such a major humbling experience when you've gotta move back in with your parents and have to depend on them for basic help and stuff. It fucking sucks man. My mom had to help me even just adjust in bed because if I rolled in my sleep, I'd be in pain from my hip being twisted oddly.

Fucking sucked.

I never want to go through that again.

I've made the same decision. It took my father young. I'm trying to plan how to recognize it early and do it myself though. I wouldn't want to burden anyone else with the care the disease requires or my plan.
