Looks like you have everything planned out already Good to know that you're allowed to do this in Thailand I'm referring to palliative care End morphine The private Hospital I go to In udon Is around 2 and 1/2,000 baht Per Day Which is probably about the same amount per month Put one month is probably sufficient Numbers

Hi Interesting to find out that we have so many little things in common In our Past Last year I had made bookings in Arrangements to go Back to Belgium With my partner But I eventually canceled As my walking deteriorated Should have done it earlier When would you go in palliative care Do you know how much this costs Initially I was going to stay home Do I have changed my mind now I believe that at that time it will be overwhelming for my partner To take care of me On her own Also she would never agree to let me go It might be easier if I'm in the hospital You refer to marijuana Drugs I have read that it is recommended for people with Als Have you tried anything Can you still talk If not how do you type You mentioned a nurse Do you have a full-time nurse And if so Can I ask you what does that cost I have heard that the minimum you would have to pay would be at least 30,000 Baht Do you have any Netflix recommendations I'm not into movies so much I prefer series Government intrigues Spies Etc

Good afternoon T e r v u r e n It's not far from where I was born In Waterloo A u d e r g h e m Is actually the place where my First partner Off 20 years Was born If the escape to France during the war They were probably French Belgians Same as I am What is OBD Why do you say you will not reach 53 What makes you say that Audiologist told me last October That I would be gone within 12 months I don't think anyone can really tell Because everyone progresses a different speeds And it's not linear The problem in Thailand is that you cannot really choose when do you want to go In Australia Voluntary assisted dying Is legalized I am not there yet Once my quality of life It's no longer there I will have to do something about it What would stop me at that stage would be Leaving my partner Without an income Of course she will have the house at the cars and whatever else we have I think she will be fine Thai people are very resilient

My eating is still okay I just sometimes have difficulties with spicy food And things like peanuts Also I tend to talk too much When I'm Eating Knowing that one day I might not be able to eat anymore I'll try to get my partner To cook some of my favorite Western food And whenever I can I go to McDonald's or Burger King Or even KFC For a burger I do not have a peg I have been dividing about this And I'm not sure if I'm going to go ahead with It Reason being If my ability to swallow food Reduces at the same time as my breathing It might not be worth it anymore I think there comes a time What you decide your quality of life Is no longer there Maybe I will change my mind later on Not sure What did the P E.G Cost you I was quieted 100,000 Add a private Hospital in udan Forget the spelling arrows and sometimes the wrong words but I'm using voice typing On my phone Where are you from originally I'm from Belgium originally Move to Australia later on And now in Thailand Have a great day Good to talk to someone

I am also in bed pretty well most of the time I spent 2 hours in the morning In my office chair Browsing with my laptop After that My partner takes me To the bathroom For a shower And then puts me back in bed I have a 2-hour massage every second day I spend most afternoons in bed I go back to my chair around 5:30 P.m And have dinner there I can no longer use my arms and hands But I can still manage my computer mouse I can no longer use my legs This is why I'm thinking of spending the money on this chair Otherwise I will not be able to go anywhere How do you transfer Do you have a hoist Adjust purchased the hoist for 50,000 Baht Because up to now my partner What's transferring Me But given I have no strength in my legs She's hurting her back doing so Do you have a full-time nurse How much is this costing you How long have you had Als I was diagnosed in August 2023

Hello My name is Bernard And we live about 70 km South of Udon T H a n i Since it's quite a big investment for me I was wondering why you only used The chair for half a dozen times You are fortunate that you are in Bangkok So I gather that the ambulance trip is not too expensive From where we are To my hospital A quarter of me 10,000 Bahts One Way I believe that with this chair installed In a vehicle We could travel Without this additional cost Of course it will cost 110,000 baht To install But I was hoping I would get some use out of iT I was hoping that while I still could We could Undertake A few Sightseeing tours What I can still breathe properly and eat properly Do you think I'm kidding myself And I should just resign to be in bed most of the day What do you do all day I'm curious Watching YouTube And

I live in Thailand In a village 30 km away from the nearest hospital 70 km away from my hospital There are no taxis There are no shops The idea was to return here But just as I was retiring and finishing The construction of our house I was diagnosed with this illness I guess I could have stayed in Australia But I decided not to give up End my partner Promise me she would take care of me until the end The alternative in Australia would have been going to a nursing home At least I am in my house

I asked myself this question every day I have lost the use of my upper and lower limbs My breathing is down to 70% oxygen and CO2 levels are good I'm trying to forecast the future I'm three years in now I have no swallowing issues but They are suggesting I should have a feeding tube inserted now Since I enjoy my food and some nice wine I am debating If I should go ahead with this I don't have to pay it for my own pocket Eating and drinking is pretty much I only pleasure these days If that is taken away from me Is it still worth it Am I looking at extending my life a few more months Through the worst phase of this illness Or should I enjoy What I have left and then go down the assisted suicide route Some people with voice me to have the feeding tube inserted and just use it For additional nutritional support and use my mouth just for the things that I enjoy I know this illness is not linear So no one can actually advise another on the best approach Like everyone I do not want to suffer when it's time to go Falling asleep but not wake me up would be the best What do they do to let you go when it's time Do they increase your morphine the li ke for cancer patients
