Well, CMM's prescription (for the Aid in Dying) has been submitted to the pharmacy as his waiting period is up. I'm very careful not to encourage him, nor to make him feel he has to stay for me. He's not eating much and still isn't sleeping much at night, but otherwise stable. His oxygen levels are surprisingly good (albeit on 9-10 liters of oxygen) but even when he's sleeping he wakes often to cough up phlegm. He's made plans to have a sushi lunch with my son this weekend for son's birthday, so apparently he doesn't plan on exiting before then. My preference, if he is going to go through with this, would be for him to wait until after Xmas, when I have a week off and could tend to everything. However, that could be a long couple of weeks away for him, I won't ask it because I really want him to make all these decisions on his own timeline. And I'm very aware that most people who get the meds don't take them. I suspect CMM will though - he has a lifelong fear of drowning or suffocating.
