[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=CA renter] A debilitating stroke would be horrible, but one that takes me out in one fell swoop would be welcomed (though strokes don’t run in the family), as would a good, strong heart attack.[/quote]
Lots of people are paralyzed or lose bodily functions from strokes and heart attacks, but they don’t die.
Would you call 911, or would you wait to die?[/quote]
Right, which is why I said a “good” stroke or heart attack — one that takes you out. The debilitating stuff is no good. Fortunately, for all the genetic crap we have in our family (LOTS of cancer and plenty of heart stuff, too), nobody on either side has ever had a debilitating stroke. I hope to maintain that record.
I wouldn’t wait to call 911 with a stroke, because that’s more likely to be debilitating. For a heart attack, it would depend on my age and, most importantly, the age and well-being of my husband and kids. If they’re all good, I probably would not call 911.
