With her experience and endurance? Hell no. I'd give it the old college try if it came to that regardless.

Absolutely. "Died while having sex" is a great way to go. Better than "Died in a long term care facility" aka nursing home.

I want to find a nursing home that she and all her friends work at. Then the nursing home phase would be more than tolerable.

But would you be able to do anything by the time you are in the nursing home even if they were there and ready? I'd definitely be DNR by the time I think I might be heading there in a few years.
