@borwin98 what “maid?”
Thank you for your empathy, but we all have something and I’m very lucky that I can control my pain and still be extremely productive and do what I want and have purpose!

@loriesco MAID stands for Medical Assistance in Dying. Yes, I understand we all have something, but it would be nice to be able to get through the day relatively pain-free. The law in Canada was recently changed this year to allow for advance decision-making for MAID in cases of severe stroke. My Mother was bedridden for over four years with no control over her bodily functions. She would never have wanted this.
