Larry, This has been my impression re nursing homes since my deceased dad's experience. I will kill myself if I can instead of going to be warehoused as I believe my brother and niece think might be the thing to do. However, shaking hand rules out gun, I might miss and kill Spike or my neighbor. Swallowing pills might not work either if I cannot swallow or vomit the dose. How do I get a "hit" contract on myself? I have no Mafia connections. I have that exercise therapy pool if I can get to it, but might float. Plus I am unlucky. Maybe my ovarian cancer will return and I can die of something else. I am also a coward. I know this subject is kind of verboten, but if anyone want to email me personally to discuss it, please do so.
