Younger members may look at this and think it is an over reaction, if I was younger and in good health, I may think the same. In my life, I have been shot at on a number of occasions, been blown up and had a hand grenade thrown at me, I am no shrinking violet. This scares me though, I am afraid of being unable to catch a breath until death takes me.

I don’t think it’s dramatic one bit. I’m asking my mom (78 with COPD) to do the exact same thing. Stay safe and well. I’d quite fancy you living longer myself. I like you here. :-)
