I’m in palliative care, and let me tell you, I am hanging on like crazy for my vote to be counted!
I’ll probably still be here for a few more months (January is now my goal), but I cannot even tell you the desperation I have to stay alive past the election (and the shit storm that will inevitably follow.) I was in line the very first hour of early voting in my state, just in case something happened and I ended up bed bound 24/7, and I wasn’t willing to risk mailing in my ballot.
I’ve had a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate order, which basically under no circumstances should I get CPR or be intubated. If I stop breathing or my heart fails, that’s it.) for a while now, but I made it clear that I’d be fine being kept on life support until after the election so my vote doesn’t get thrown out. I also have the option of withdrawing my IV nutrition, but, like I said, I refuse until after Election Day, and if things go incredibly well, January.
I refuse to die with Trump as president. I need to know my family will be ok. Leaving them is a horrible thing to comprehend (or more, them losing me...), but knowing there might be a little hope left that things will get better? Well, that’s EVERYTHING to me right now.

Well Mildred your husband is dead. And since he's dead he can't vote because dead people voting is voter fraud.
