alzheimers news-would you

ALZHEIMERS NEWS-WOULD YOU
would i
yes
if i could

here is an article  from the ny times
titled
the last day of her life
about a person who planned her death
early in her course of the disease
then carried forward with the plan
when the time came

read and weep and think
would i

in the movie still alice
alice planned her suicide
even had all the drugs ready to use
the problem was she couldnt follow the instructions
and
find the drugs she had sat aside for this event

my thoughts are
yes i would like to do this
but
only after i had extracted every bit of cognitive time
i can from this life
then
when there was no more to extract
then
it would be the time
