I probably have said it here already, but me on a ventilator is a non-starter. Asthma (well-controlled- I use my rescue inhaler probably 10 puffs a year, when I'm sick- and no other medication) and age-related kidney disease. I don't think I'd make it, and have so informed my family. As the medical community learns more, I may change my stance if there is a less-invasive treatment than the ventilator.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
