I'm given shaking-head resignation by family and friends (including one last night visiting me from Chicago) who apparently consider me senile/dementia-ridden: four years ago at 77 yo, I blew off the "Big Four": Big Pharma, Big Med, Big Dentistry, Big Veterinary (angst for my best-friend puppy...). I simply decided as my pallid protest of the "system" to go out "my way"...and so far I'm riding the wave, hangin' in there. I have a DNR on prominent notice and have informed my two daughters that I want to die at home. Senility, dementia, insanity?--that's okay by me. (I do concede to a "glaucoma drop" in each eye at bedtime, but no other meds....)
Next for me is home insurance [aka "Big Insurance"], due in April. Last (this) year my annual fee nearly doubled (I protested loudly to no avail), and I hear ominous rumblings for 2025. I've had no effing fires in my home for 53 effing years...what to do? My "widower nest" will be "possessed" if I don't pay....
Well presented, Caitlin!
