A Google search: end of life issues
Harv has long feebly attempted to plan his life time, and found his attempts near impossible in detail because of
external influence/disagreement. Although: he has been successful in reaction to day-to-day external influences.
He continues to forge a ‘comfortable’ live-in-car Florida lifestyle with a scheduled two-month 2019 visit to California.
Unfortunately, his health continues to degrade.
(accessed 2018oct30) Clinical Challenges to the Delivery of End-of-Life Care. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1764519/
End-of-life care presents many challenges (e.g., the management of pain and suffering) for clinicians, as well as for
patients and their families. Moreover, the care of the dying patient must be considered within the context of the
psychological, physical, and social experiences of a person's life.1 Foremost among those who require end-of-life care
are the elderly, who are prone to loneliness, who frequently underreport pain, and who have a greater sensitivity to drugs
and to drug-drug interactions.2 Unfortunately, clinicians who are responsible for the treatment of patients at the end of life
commonly lack adequate training to help guide end-of-life decisions and to deliver bad news to patients and families.3,4
They must also face their own discomfort with discussions about death and deal with poor compensation for the time spent
discussing end-of-life care with patients and families. Given the unique process of each person's death, algorithmic strategies are
often inadequate to guide patients, their families, and the clinicians who care for them through this complex and emotionally
challenging process.
Harv’s take-away keywords: challenge, underreport pain, suffering, loneliness, drug sensitivity, bad news delivery,
discomfort, discuss end-of-life care. For a year or so Harv fashioned his Elder Self Care (ESC) program in his fluid
imagination, never able to impose control. This week the topic of his end-of-life care becomes forefront as his health
continues to fail.

Chris Stokel-Walker (2 November 2018) http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20181101-fire-the-movement-to-live-
frugally-and-retire-decades-early Working on freedom Despite the “RE” (retire early) part of the
FIRE movement moniker, the goal for Merz and Whiter isn’t to quit their jobs at 27 or 43 and do nothing until they die.
“We’re not meant to sit around and drink Mai Tais all day,” Merz says. “Humans have an intrinsic need to work. We
need to feel like a valued member of society, and that’s not going to stop because you have an arbitrary number in the
bank.” Rather, it gives them the flexibility to do what they want. Some choose to travel -- on a budget, of course – while
others simply pick and choose their work, rather than feeling trapped on the hamster wheel. “I felt like I was beholden
to the system,” says Whiter. “I felt like I was in a prison camp, working to sustain a lifestyle I didn’t actually want.”
Now he’s free. “A lot of this stuff is emotional and psychological,” he says. “You have to live through it to understand
how powerful it is.”
Harv’s take-away keywords: flexibility to do what is wanted, sustain a lifeway (WoL).
However, Harv does not have the flex of yesteryears! His worn out spine has this year proved to be a permanent
affliction -- early 2018 began with an 80# failure on the gym ab machine, followed by injury from too quick a panic
movement in CA. Then flat treadmill was tried with 140minutes, 100minutes, and 100minutes in respective weeks.
Result was a return to dull lower back pain. A week of no exercise was followed by a simple near one hour hobble
in the following week -- with encouraging result for this 80yo. Perhaps Harv can integrate his scooter with FL hobble.
Thus his FL old-age exercise has been delimited to a slow simple hobble. The bright side -- no wheel chair yet. For
2018 Xmas in CA Harv will try a tricycle for his daily exercise to In/Out. Rest (sleep) that accompanies this physical
delimitation has peaked in week 2018w44 at 13hours daily -- a new high for the old man.
With the onset of even more sleep in his life, and exercise at hobble speed of seven hours a week, the RETIREMENT
hours remaining are 10 hours daily. Eating has been an activity of leisure and slow weight loss while staying in touch
with 107B others and the choices for his life time as an enhanced youthful spirit. His quality of lifestyle (QoL) or way
of life (WoL with wol implication) is a challenge -- will his papers, his books to be read, digitizing the family slides,
attending to a tsunami of medical referrals on top of old-age medical maintenance, etc… ever “have the time?”
Harv’s careful choice is the answer, as his hours before death become VERY short, even by his own doing or not!
