My mom just read me a text message she got from her half-sister who is in stage 4 renal failure (or something imminently fatal like that, although I've been hearing this for about 10 years now). I was feeling sorry for her until my mom got to the point where she said she was "looking forward to meeting Jesus and Charlie Kirk".

I would just reply with "Bitch, you're going to hell, you're only meeting Charlie Kirk there."

"you can meet one, or the other, but not both."

And Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. So many conservative herpes!

Edit: I meant to type heroes, but this works too.

I swear, if Hell could be livestreamed on Twitch I bet it would have 500k+ views every day just from people watching Thatcher, Nixon and Reagan burning in there.

Ignoring your actual point, something like end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis has a life expectancy of around 5 years, but even 10+ years on dialysis is not unheard of.

FWIW she has refused dialysis.

As I said when I got a text saying "don't send A g money to your dad": "It won't be long now. Everything evolving him will be over shortly."

Everyone in his generation was a little miffed. Everyone in my generation was all "yup."

If she quit, it must've been recent. She won't last more than a couple weeks on average.

They really don’t have people on dialysis that long anymore. My best friend is currently on dialysis.

Different sites will have different patient populations, but large cohort data shows 5 year survival rate of ~40% and 10-year survival rate of ~10%. Not common, but not particularly unusual.

Reference figure 3

Adults with the mental disorder called religion need treatment, preferably medicated to the nostrils.
