Have spent almost a handful of times in an ICU setup. Once before there was tubing. Had spent three plus a bit years in hospitals by twelve. Have absolutely no desire to go back there, except to see a loved one.
Being in the socially secure set, if I have the option, take a limited vacation and wind up being euthanized. I will not go back to hospitals.

Am sorry for your mother’s loss. A dear friend of over thirty years is dying, and all I can do is say goodbye.
