Now, they never make me fell like that in any other way, save for appointments. And trust me, I am in charge of my medical care. I had a long chat with my APN about what I will and won't allow. And this was based on my personal experiences (some very bad) with medical care providers, and the experiences I've had with members of my family, some of which were almost criminal.

My goal is to live only as long as I can do so with comfort and without becoming a burden. Pain and dependency are not on my bucket list.
