I rarely leave my house but this morning I took a road trip over to a neighboring county to visit a woman who has been living in a care facility for a couple of years. She's in rough shape, but healthy, if that makes sense. She could linger for years. That, to me, is a bleak prospect, but she is hanging in there.

Anyway, as I told another friend, maybe someone will come visit me when I am in the home. End of life issues are a serious concern for those of us of a certain age.
