So I've been offered a VAD date with Pegasos (13th Sept).

Need to start getting my affairs in order. I've already paid off the mortgage and now need to see a solicitor to find out what needs to be done to ensure my partner is left absolutely everything, the house, car and my remaining savings.

Now I have my VAD date set, even September feels so far away as my suffering is daily.

I just want to be as comfortable as possible now and feel like taking Oxy, Morphine or Diazepam every day to make me spaced out and more comfortable.

Not sure if that's a good idea though as I don't want to cause more issues and be in even more distress.

Seriously though If it wouldn't harm then I would definitely be taken a valium (diazepam) every day until I go. At the point where addiction doesn't really matter now, I'll be dead soon anyway.

Congratulations! May I ask, what is your story? Also, as I understand it you don't need to be terminally ill to apply, you only need to be capable at decision making and to have a non-selfish motive. I'm sorry, I know I will have to do my own research, but could you provide a few brief details?

I just asked for a date early September and this is what they came back with.

Maybe I could have gotten one sooner but I have some upcoming appointments about my conditions that my family insist I attend, despite already seeing countless ENT'S, Neurologist, doctors, medications etc. all to no avail.

Rightfully they are clinging on to hope, but it's very clear that my issues are complex, out of the ordinary and cannot be cured.

Personally I would go to Pegasos tomorrow, but for my families sake I will hold out a bit longer.

Well, as strange as it is to say, I am happy that you have a peaceful way out paved ahead of you. I think a lot of people if they had limited time left would choose to spend it buzzed and high as hell.

I hate that you're in this situation, but I think it's a very brave thing you're doing. I'm sure your family will look back eventually and be grateful that you allowed them the opportunity to say their goodbyes.

I wish you peace on the final stages of your journey. And yes, the benzos will help calm you over the next few weeks without complications.

Ok. Understand. Thank you for the reply.
You are most fortunate to have this opportunity to end your extreme suffering in the most humane way.

Congrats. I was in talks with them too last year. It looked as if I'd get accepted too.

Can you describe your medical problem? And how old you are.

Thank you for all the information. I'm starting at the passport level, so this is great info. I'm asking my dentist about x-rays because I have no one to go with me. Thanks for that info. I'm getting my family in the loop. I can't even join Pegasos until I have that passport. I'm so happy for you that you have a date.

What made them accept your case? God what a relief this would be to so many. None of my doctors or anyone else will help me get into something like that and I can't wait any longer. Plus I'd rather die in my own country I think. I'm glad you'll be free but I know exactly what it means to know you're going to die and for it to be of zero comfort or relief because you're suffering is so extreme.

Valium daily not a problem if you never want to get off of it, but it's hell of a withdrawal if you do want to stop. So in your case, 👍. (I've read nothing where it should affect how the medications administered at the VAD would interact, but I suspect you had those conversations).

Also, congratulations on navigating the process with Pegasos, and finalizing the details of ending your existence here on Earth. The second part of that is proving daunting for me.

I was looking for the post where Ruby was asking for someone to go with her and that she'd need dental x-rays and this is where I got that...
