I'm the person that looks forward to going to a nursing home.

Meals prepared for you, entertainment provided for you, not responsibilities.... what a life!

Screw that!!!
Thats what retirements for.
Hire a maid to clean the house,some mexicans to do the yard and you have Grub Hub and restaurants to do the cooking.
The rest of the time you drink,sleep,fish,hunt,play golf or whatever the hell else you want to do.
 
I used to work with CNS injured people. That's Central Nervous System, includes brain and spine. I've thought a lot about what those people lose and what the real meaning of handicap is.

Even though I saw it dozens of times, I cannot fathom dealing with the reality of the doctor who stands at the end of the bed and says "I'm sorry but you'll never walk again". Or, "your son played football so will never have any mental capacity beyond that of a 3 year old".

I can remember so many of them - Mark - a young kid who only cared that his toothpaste had three ribbons of color. Physically healthy and probably still alive today. Another one who was never expected to live, never mind function, tied in his wc next to the nurses station, pulling is trach out. Chris. The last time I saw him, he had come back to visit and there was no sign of injury or loss of function. A young man who was so hated by his family for being gay that he shot himself in the chest but lived to be paralyzed from the chest down. An older man who fell off tiny short stool in his kitchen and broke his neck. A young man in a pillow fight with his brother, very high injury, no function below his shoulders. A wealthy young woman who was abused and constantly raped by her wealthy atty husband who was only considering suicide but, with her twin daughters in the next room "accidentally" shot herself in the next. She was glad for the lack of sensation because it meant her husband could go on raping her without it causing her so much pain.

There are hundreds more and they all left their mark on me. Most would be shocked to know how common injuries like these are. It is the nature of who and what we are that most catastrophic injuries are to young and otherwise healthy young men. We laugh about the testosterone in a can of beer but it kills and maims so many.

What would I choose to lose?

From the available list, an eye.

But, from my own list, my mind - because I saw, so many times, just how horrible it is to know what what you've lost.
 
Such gore. It's sick. A terrible thing to think about. What kind of mind do you have? Are you missing a brain?

GEEZ ................. WTF

So, Luddy, you are a male nurse? Don't bother to specify, as ANYONE working for a health care provider who is not the doctor should not be a dude. It is subservient and gross. I can just see you now, a creepy old fuck touching and squeezing some helpless person in a hospital bed while you wear a male nurse costume and talk to them with an effeminate voice. BLEEEEEEEEEECCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!! (That is me throwing up).

People deal with these things and go on to live productive lives (more prove than mine!) (not that that is hard to beat!) - I'm sorry if I upset or offended you with my question....

You are making a lot of assumptions and you are completely off the mark. You're making an ass of yourself.

Also: interesting that people don't want to think about the reality of being maimed.

You are the one missing a brain. It's sick to understand the reality of life that so many suffer? It's sick to deny it and look the other way.
 
Why would I have to choose one of those? Am I being held prisoner by ISIS or something?

Well fortunately, you don't have to choose!

Well you said if I HAD to choose one of those. :D If I had to choose, I would choose none of them.

Hey... no choice is still a choice! (at least that's what Rush says....Neil Peart is their drummer obviously.....)

Leg

Prosthetic legs are very good arms not so much and we will never be able to replace an eye

I agree. I would never want to lose an eye, although, I knew a guy in school that had a glass eye and you could hardly notice and he said he had no real problems, still, I would go with the leg also.....
 
What is the point of this little exercise and why are people so interested in answering? Lol. Funny stuff goes on here.
She doesn't have a point. She does this all the time. It boost her post count. This kind of shit is her norm, if you'll pay attention. Some are even more ridiculous than this one, if you can believe it.
 
I don't know. I just find it funny . . . What's your favorite color? What's your sign? What's your favorite body part? What's your favorite sexual position? Lol. People just clamor to answer these questions it seems. :lol: Okay then. I guess it's supposed to be fun. :p

Oh, I think she's just bored. One must be to ask such pointless questions of strangers on the internet. Bonzi the bored housewife looking to jazz things up with a little internet interludes. :lol:

J/K Bonzi. Just giving you some trouble on this wonderful Saturday morn! :D
 
Oh everyone is on my ass this morning I see ... it's okay though I'm a big girl. I can take it :)
