Do you wanna live until which age?

Answer 1

I have had 4 heart attacks; a quadruple bypass; have a defibrillator/pacemaker implanted; have an "ejection fraction" that reveals my heart pumps at about 10% efficiency.  Every day is a miracle, because while many people who have my stats are on oxygen and use walkers, but Mrs Media and I still go for 20-mile bike rides.

I literally start each day with this prayer: "Lord, thank you for the miracle of today.  Give me the strength and wisdom I need to go through it."  That prayer never gets old.  

I'm ready.  I know where I'll be afterwards, so I'm not frightened by the prospect of death.  I feel bad because I won't have the chance to tell my friends and family after I'm gone that it's OK.  

So what age?  Well, I have vacation plans made through 2020, so I'd like to make it through another year.  I would hate to waste those pre-paid plans.  :-)

Media. Sounds like you're lucky to be alive.

Each day is a miracle, Blue. I consider it blessed rather than lucky. 

Answer 2

I could go any day now. I have completed my tasks here and I could check out right now.

Unfortunately, I was brought up Catholic, although I dont practice, so suicide is out of the question.

I'll just need to sit it out.

Answer 3

92 exactly.

Answer 4

Until I am old enough to die.

I am ok with going any time.  I just don't want it to be painful.  I get to do almost nothing that I want to.  No sex, my dog died, don't get to do much for enjoyment.  It is pretty much eat, sleep, watch tv, get things off of high shelves, repeat.  

I cannot get the cars that I want, the pets that I want, the clothes that I want, or even the food that I want.  I seem to exist as a industry for others.

Go to sleep, don't wake up sounds good.

Answer 5

I always said as long as my health holds. Well, my shelf life was up 10 years ago! I had a spinal fusion then and everyday since I have lived with Chronic pain. I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted and that has only been moderately effective in diminishing the constant pain. So whenever the Good Lord calls my spiritual bags are packed.

Answer 6

Lots of good answers here! 

   I would like to live as long as I am able to think for myself, and do most things on my own. I am super independent and would hate to rely on anything or anyone to  keep me doing the normal things I do each day. Should I ever have the unfortunate circumstance of  succumbing to life support ---I have in my will that if there is less than 50% chance of  recovery, I  would be taken off. 

   In the meantime I thank God for my blessings, including good health.  

   I still fear death, no  matter how much faith I have in knowing  what comes after.
