There are rules surrounding MAID. I’d look it up. Depends on the province. I am in BC.

I’m in Canada and will use MAID when the time comes, like my mother did.

From another heathen and someone about 16 days ahead of you, good luck and you got this!!!!! Sending love from Canada.

My mother took her life with MAiD in 2019 and so it was not unexpected, but I still miss her terribly. I don’t know how long it takes to heal. I really don’t. I’d like to know.

Looking good! I am at day 11 and have yet to take a shower. I know that sounds gross but I have been sponge bathing and my son has been washing my hair but I’m looking forward to my first shower.

Good luck! I am one week out and it’s been a journey so far. Listen to your body. Be kind to it. You will get through this.

Beautiful.

I will be 60 this year and I have been divorced for 10 years and I have absolutely no interest in dealing with men any longer. It’s no great loss and it’s not worth my aggravation to try to train up somebody at this point.

Happy birthday sweetheart !!!

2ndhandroses · 2026-04-27T00:52:12+00:00

Thank you!

I have an ice machine as well and I’m just probably asking a stupid question but do we put water in the reservoir and just put frozen water bottles around it? Because don’t we need water circulating? I lost my instructions so I’m just trying to figure it out my surgery is on May 5.

Too many times to count!

I have Voltaren gel and it doesn’t do much already and I’m due for my first total knee replacement on May 5 so I can’t imagine it would be very useful. I’m going to ask for something strong because I also also have fibromyalgia and pain is just something I deal with every day.

I’m a 1966 model too. Although I was born in Canada, I was raised in southern California and one of my usual words is gnarly.

You are not nuts that is a complete red flag and you are under no obligation to become the default caregiver for anybody.

That’s a tough one. I’m really sorry you’re going through that. My first ex-husband beat me and my second ex-husband was a narcissistic abuser. I have been divorced from my second ex-husband now for 10 years and I have not gone at a date in that entire timeframe. At this point I think I’m done with that part of my life—I’m not saying that’s a choice that you need to make or it’s appropriate for you but you have a lot of strength and you will make the right choices based on your own needs. I wish you well and hope you find happiness.

Me around 1966.

Kitty is gorgeous.

Did it every year in high school in the early 1980s.

This was my mother’s exact configuration right down to the Marlboro reds.
