@susiewordsmith Will check this out Susie.
It truly is all about choice and dignity and should not be something we have to angst over as we age.
I'm in MD and they're also working on death with dignity laws, but I feel like the "terminal" label should not be a mandate.
At any rate, thanks for the well wishes and right back at you.
Take care and good health to you.

Thanks, Gail. Sometimes things do seem just overwhelming. e.g. yesterday when my ophthalmologist added Rx for dry eye, although grateful for hope of clearing up (pun intended) chronic blurriness...all I could think of was my ever-growing list of Rx's - 10 needed for chronic conditions, not to mention drugs used occasionally, such as ambien for insomnia, nitro for angina; amoxicillin for dental work, etc). It's a lot to manage! I guess this is the "price" we pay for longevity...in generations past, people didn't live as long...but I don't think their bodies fell apart in so many different ways. Wish there were shortcuts to medication management...Then, too, there is the challenge of scheduling all the various specialists...Wish I had some answers in addition to whining...but know you're definitely not alone!!
Warmest,
Susan
