Instead of making a decision for your wife she's not going to want you to make -- especially not by yourself -- bring her into it. A family decision deserves a family discussion.
You love her, let her love you.

Peeps with Alzheimer’s don’t rationalize they have the disease. So you’re saying you step out of a doctor’s office and he says: “Listen up 88, yer gonna be watching Brady Bunch reruns in the day room with your bib covered with frosting from the most resent co-inmate’s birthday cake, all the while being as happy as the class nerd, sticking it to the head cheerleader.”
But you feel as normal as before your Dr. visit. The question is “When”do you decide to splatter yet gray matter on the ceiling?
You don’t know...which is why it rarely happens, because by the time you want to, you don’t realize you ever did..
So my guess is Mrs. 88 will be bring the cake to celebrate with your best ever friends.
Gimme Shelter...
Stones or GFR?

I'm 80 and know that I am nearing the end of my journey. I try not to think much about it, but I suspect it will happen quickly like all the males in my family when it happens. I hope to have all my "shit" together so Mrs.O will be able to handle the changes that will come for her when I leave this life. Smackie can play Elvis "Peace in the Valley" for me.

My old man croaked at 66 from Alzheimer’s Disease. Completely cruel way to end the life of a complete bad-ass. Dude was hard as nails, until he wasn’t. What a waste. But I digress,
His old man croaked at 59. That one was less of a shock. Dude crushed Cutty Sark and anything else with alcohol in it with reckless abandon. Shock he made it to almost 60 as hard as he hit it.
Which brings the topic to me, which is important. Pay fucking attention....
I have concluded, based on the passing of my old mang, that I should not burden Mrs. 88 with the shit my mom had to deal with. An honorable dude would blow his fucking fucked up brains out to prevent his wife from having to deal with that shit. And I’m committed to making that happen if I detect a shred of evidence that I’m headed to the same fate as 88’s dad. But the big question is how?
I guessing that by the time that moment arrives, most of the dexterity is gone. I would love to dial the family doc and have him come by and make the situation all better with a shot or a pill. But that ain’t going to happen. So I have to be able to pull it off without much pro help.
I have a degree in Chemistry, which would leave one to think that I could come up with some exotic plan. But basically, no. That ain’t easy. So I’m here, trying to cobble together a plan, which will likely fail.
As far as tunes go, I wouldn’t mind going out to The Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter. Big fan of that one. But there are others. Boom Boom by JLH and several by JGB would suffice.
Shotgun blast to the upper palate. Would work, but is kind of messy. I’m thinking of something that does not require a dry cleaner.
What about tunes and reading seven EAP posts in a row? That would be painful, but deadly. Thoughts?
A shotgun blast is selfish because of the trauma you cause your loved ones when they find you looking like a splattered pizza.
Honestly?
The best most beautiful way to exit, is to book a cruise on the Queen Mary 2, the most opulent and luxurious ship on the high seas
Live it up for a few days.
Party with gorgeous escorts,
Snort coke and drink 50 year single malt scotch.
Then, at 3am in the middle of the mighty Atlantic, just gently slip into the icy cold abyss.
Spirit in the sky

Good question.
I suspect that by the time you and I are at that point, we'll have passed sensible legislation which will allow us to "play god".
Mrs Smack and I were just talking about this. She is a mobile X-ray tech, so she gets to see on a regular basis, what we currently inflict on those that are well past their use by date.
One fukking chest xray after another on comatose 94 year olds.
Yup, Gertrude has pneumonia.....again. Here's some somethingorothercilin to make you "better" dear.
No it fukking won't make her "better". Better is no longer an option. The only "better" she'll see, allegedly, is in the next life. Give the ol' girl some morphine to easy the journey we will all make.
The only fear I have of this is if this decision is made by anyone other than the person I appoint to make it. That person would likely be my daughter. She has her head screwed on pretty fukking straight for a 28 year old commie social worker. I would not want to put it on the heater. She'll be a wreck, assuming she can outlast me.
As for a tune, Comfortably Numb seem apropos.
88, assuming you do take the high speed lead poisoning route, a shotgun is gonna be awful messy. I think a properly placed medium caliber handgun round should do. The OL owns a nice little 380 auto. It would prolly do a good job.

Is 88 ok? I was assuming this was "tongue and cheek".
He's gonna be around for a good 50 years or so, correct? He's a mentor.

I been thinking about this as I groove to some Albert King mix on YouTube. I came to one realization.
I’m not going out listening to the Velvet Bulldozer. Whenever I listen to him I just can’t help but smile. He’s like a drug on me. I would be like, no fukk in’ way. I can’t go out now, I gotta finish listening to this song.
Given this, I think a more appropriate selection would be something off Screwey’s playlist. Some Air France maybe? A few notes of that ought to be enough of a reason to eat a bullet.

An XRC from an Atix (the xray at TSA checkpoints in most airports) is usually set to 160K. Anode current typical about 700 micro amps.
These setting are adjustable. I could dial down the voltage and give it a little more current. Can you make that work?
