JT,
Thanks for sharing. I don't know if I'm one of the young ones (36), but I think I read your post how you meant it. If I knew for sure, this minute, that in twenty years that's what I'd be living with--then no, I don't think I could stay knowing that was my destiny. But, if I stay and get through the worst of it and MY recovery keeps on track, my AH passing out quietly in a recliner every night might be just about enough excitement.
I guess what it comes down to is your definition of serenity.
I think I would be a little sad that it turned out that way--as you are, yes?
I think you sound like you need a hug, (((((((JT)))))))
