euthanasia, when you yourself is the right time?

I want to die by euthanasia itself. How will I know when it's time to go is at hand? I have a 63. been physically devil for 30 years and the mentally ill with bipolar 50 years. I have no spouse or child. Real age I would say my physical age is 84. My doctor agrees and says I'm a perfect candidate for a stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, amputations and blindness, My Diabetes is very poorly controlled. I weigh 300 pounds. I have congestive heart failure. I have post polio syndrome. I live in the social security income disability. The family is out of state and not available to visit or help in some way. I have no friends, I feel very isolated and alone. I can still tolerate life and enjoy my small service dog can still manage an independent life. The question is how to humiliate and make arrangements for someone to take care of my dog before these disasters as a whole and I have no options from left to do.

Nora ... I'm sorry that life has dealt this hand rotten. Ultimately, nobody can really answer your question. You are solely that can make this decision. My mother recently passed away and took a similar decision for herself. We were very lucky that she had taken care of wonderful doctors and a hospital to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. But that still was not terribly comfortable. She had a horrible death. I held his hand. I am very close to her older sister too. They are / were very different people. While my mother stopped going, my aunt has decided to stay as active as possible, until it no longer appears. Once you become his age (late 60s, early 70s), staying active is crucial. once they lose the ability to something, you lose it forever. doing yard work, grocery stores, has a part-time work in the library, and see friends often. These things are kept alive. If I were in your position, I'd stick around until he was just ready to go. I have no fear of death. I have a little real fear of death, but take things into my own hands would relieve much of that fear. I think it takes much courage though, and I admire you for that. If there was little hope, if any, of my condition physical improvement, if a diagnosis for the pain and significant distress call as part of treatment (eg, third / fourth / fifth assault of chemotherapy, surgery that would leave me weak, etc), if my quality of life is expected to decline significantly until the point of losing my independence, I would make arrangements and go. Do a search on the website of the Hemlock Society. If you can not help, they the right direction. I personally talk to my minister of things too ... only to make sure I had thought all that was need. My religion (Unitarian Universalist) is sympathetic to situations like yours. Many Christian denominations are not. If you know that his minister would try to talk about it, the chat can not be something you want to do. There are tons of animal adoption and rescue of people out there that would ensure that his dog found a home healthy and happy. Just look in the yellow pages. I wish you all the best of luck with your decision. Not be easy, no matter what you do or decide. You do not have to go through this alone. There are a lot of people who believe that you have the absolute right to make this decision. They will not help actually do, but can hold your hand. Peace be with you, whatever you choose.

Remembering Dandy, the joy of our lives...
