Blessings, your Dad was lucky with his MS prognosis and with a little more luck, yours will be the same. 79 is still to young to die, so, watch out for that nasty COPD.

Debbie, thanks, I try to stay strong and pray every day for it. For me, Joe Klein's book about his Father dying, is not something I would want to read and ponder.

Marion, you're just too dang chipper for me..*SMACK*

Mariel, I never considered Dr K either, just wished I'd go to heaven a little sooner than planned. You are so lucky to be still walking....keep on keeping on..
