@kamama94, I am right along with you on what you expressed. I fear becoming unable to make my own decisions about my life. Daily unrelenting pain and suffering, which you as a nurse and I as a long time caregiver, have brought me to the belief that we are sometimes more humane and merciaful in making decisions for our beloved pets and other animals than we are for human beings. Whatever we can do to maintain personal independence is a very good thing in my book. Sending you heaps of affection and strength.

@kamama94 Totally agree with you. I can get pain pills from the vet no problem because I do not want my Dobie to have any pain in his senior years. He’s 13 and a large breed dog so we are lucky we’ve had him this long. The “pink liquid” should be available to humans too. Why are we so merciful with animals but not humans. And my vet calls to follow-up on everything. I’ve told my vet I don’t get that kind of concern from my PCP and she said she hears that from a lot of her clients. Why is this? @hopeful33250 @lagrange5
