Hydra,

I honestly do not know what the term is nor have I ever heard of an animal known as a "jungle rat" other then Homo sapiens in a city environment. But I do know that this describes exactly what my great grandmother did. She had always been a very independent woman but when she reached the age of 83 she slipped and fell breaking her hip. This caused it so that she had to have a live in nurse at home. Well things were going rather well until she found out that she would no longer be allowed to drive and that the state DMV had canceled her driver’s license. When she heard this she turned her face to the wall, said F* it, and died just like that; btw she never swore a day in her life and had never been sick.

I would be curious to know if there is an actual term for this.
