Such an interesting conversation and one I’ve been having with friends more as I get older. I’m learning that most of us feel similarly about aging and independence. I’ve acknowledged that there are no guarantees. I always thought I wouldn’t want resuscitation until last year at 69 - out of the blue - I coded x3 due to LAD STEMI heart attack! The first time I was in an ambulance and then in ER 2 more times. I remember only flashes of this experience until waking up flat on my back in CICU with the sweetest nurse looking down at me. Prior to this, I did not have heart problems. My major health issue was ongoing chronic constipation for over 2 years - lots of tests, no diagnosis. I don’t smoke, drink, or eat poorly. My weight is fine and I’m physically active but hardly athletic. Since then, I’m learning more than I’d like about drugs, tests, etc. My heart is healthy and now I’m back to addressing (hopefully) the on and off constipation. Keeping it simple, hopefully! Anyway - it’s good to have a plan for the future regarding these things as mine came so unexpectedly and I’m glad I’m alive and mostly healthy. My mother died recently and we were fortunate to have had conversations about what she wanted at 91 (except she wasn’t at home). Life is full of surprise!
