[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 17965, member: 3068"] Hoping you don't go back to smoking. My mom's body literally stopped working little by little because of hardening of the arteries caused by smoking. Her kidney was the first to have the blood flow stop to it and it shriveled. Then it was her gallbladder. Then she started with pains in her legs so bad that she could only walk about 10 steps and have to sit. Had to have a bypass done for her legs. The last was that she spent 6 months not being able to eat or drink because everything just went right through her. Special diets were not helping. The doctors decided to do exploratory surgery to see what was wrong since tests didn't really confirm anything. Turns out that whenever they touched a part of her intestines, they would fall apart. There wasn't sufficient blood flow to there so everything was basically brittle. She spent 3 months on a respirator, tubes everywhere, body swollen, kidney dialysis, and not being able to move any part of her body by herself. She could not communicate to anyone. It was a slow, painful death. It was torture for us to watch her waste away. Think of your family having to go through an experience like that. Unfortunately, she didn't have a living will. [/QUOTE]
