6. Okay, don't count me out, not just yet, but still getting there
Sat Dec 12, 2015, 04:05 PM
Dec 2015

but the end of last week was very scary, and I was really feeling how I'm running the clock down. I feel better today. That said, I really haven't eaten for nearly 2 weeks now; I'd be surprised if I even got 400 calories a day. Some days, nearly no cals at all. I also wasn't sleeping or hydrating at all.

Still, I need to address this issue at some point.

As far as DU, if possible, I'll try to get a final post. If not, I'm trying to leave an instruction for someone to leave a post at DU, as I have a lot of friends here. I have no idea whether I'm thinking weeks, months, or I surprise myself and get another year or two out of the deal, but it's coming.

It wasn't really a question about when we say goodbye to DU specifically but just family and friends in general.

I'm not sure, unless you know you're got a specific, very short, time range to live, that you need to formally say goodbye now But if you don't have a medically-determined expiration date, then how do you self-tell?

I think because, unlike in the past where I just didn't feel well, that I'm starting to get into unrecoverable health situations, and I don't like that trend (nor the trend of not eating or sleeping).
