Oh and about your father, I had many patients like him too. Go getters who didn't want to live like that. Don't worry, he will go quick because he wants to. Seriously. I had so many patients who were "fine" in the sense they weren't on the brink of death but were so independent that they DESPISED using a walker or oxygen. Those went fast. They just told their body to stop. Then you got the ones that had unfinished business and you swear they were on their last breath two weeks ago. I got a really good story about that one and about unfinished business.
I SHOULD go write that book.
