Oh and by the way...
> as you so indelicately put it
Yes, I did put it indelicately. Because the prospect of becoming a zombie-thing with no way to interact with the world is like something out of a horror movie. Some dire medical issues are “icky” and if you get faced with them it isn’t like the hospital TV shows with the music and the pretty doctors and nurses. It’s blood and and pain and excrement and is realer than real. “Indelicate”? Oh brother.
It is NOT a way a would have described my Grandmother. We treated her with more dignity than that.
