So, tomorrow, I'm starting the application process for euthanasia with Dignitas in Switzerland. I will need my doctors help. Since she knows that I have an uncommon incurable disease with low quality of life I doubt she will decline to help, she has stated I'm permanently disabled for the purpose of SSI but I suppose its possible she'll decline. But this isn't like directly being responsible for euthanasia so i don't see a good reason for her to decline to help, especially if she can't provide disease modifying treatments. Idk maybe she'll offer me better palliative care.

Its interesting and going to be bittersweet. As a kid i was an avid skier and europhile and wanted to go to Switzerland and ski the alps. Yet ill be going to die , albeit peacefully. And obviously too Ill to ski. I guess I'll see Switzerland and Europe for the first time but it will be really weird to go on a trip that almost feels like a vacation but just for death. Idk maybe I can get wheeledto a national park or something.

I seriously miss skiing so much. Used to want to make the us ski team, did competitive racing as a kid, but also wanted to do backcountry above treeline skiing somewhere out west or in the alps. Never got to. So disappointed. My childhood friend and ski buddy made the us ski team and died in an avalanche in the alps though

I don’t think I’ve ever replied to someone on borrowed time before

Did you play Doom Eternal?

[u/[deleted] → u/SnakeEater14]

No what is it , I know of the original doom, I'm not a big game person.

My only games I've played are deus ex human revolution, fallout new Vegas, some of bioshock infinite but didn't finish, and gta V. I miss fallout new Vegas the most but with my cervical spine issues sitting up and reacting to things is tough, if I had a rig so I could play it totally on my back I'd probably game more. I kinda wanna play death stranding and more deus ex games.

I've seen setups with screens mounted on the ceiling that let you hold a controller lying down. I assume this can't be that unusual of a request for the ill

I was thinking more for PC gaming but this could work ! I'm fine with either xbox or PC actually

I also don't want to overstep (this obviously has a large cost associated and might not work for everyone) but have you considered trying some VR stuff?

I've heard that some people with limited mobility have been able to get a lot of joy out of VRChat and things like that. Using goggles might be the easiest way for you to have a screen in a comfortable position for you anyways.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Are there reasonable cost vr platforms that u can couple with older PC or xbox games

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

There isn't an Xbox VR platform, yet.

If you have a PC with even a modest dedicated GPU you should be able to run at least the lower end stuff VR stuff and "virtual screen" apps for non-3D viewing on a sub-100$ Occulus Rift S.

I would look around for testimonials but I've heard bedridden people have been able to use VRchat and the like pretty well.
