afford it

went to a dr. I may not get that lucky again, and in fact I don't think I want to because I have nothing to live
for
6) please don't start with you have family to live for. I only have siblings. I assure you they are not living
their lives to please me

I will say this .... Your already having a stroke albeit mild puts you at a higher risk for another .. Not all stokes lead to death. Many lead to being so affected that you wind up in a nursing home setting because you have lost control of your body , Maybe loose the ability to eat or speak of take care of yourself on any level. I worked health care and have seen people just suffer for years..Image being stuck in your body and not be able to communicate?.. Its not something that you would want to happen?
If your blood pressure meds are to expensive trust me there are cheaper ones available.. Just explain to your doctor your financial situation.
