I made a comment on this sub several days ago about having to make a decision about lifesaving surgery. I had my pre-op assessment and I'm too frail to have the surgery. If I survived, I'd be worse off, in a lot of pain, and would need permanent nursing care. I hopefully have a few years left.

I would appreciate any suggestions, especially humorous ones, of what I can do to help with the time I have left. What can a wheelchair-using, unwell person living in Scotland do to make people aware of collapse?

I am very grateful for all the kind comments (and birthday wishes) I received.

I am facing open heart surgery to replace damaged heart valves. This will involve stopping my heart and being placed on a heart-lung bypass machine.

Should I have the Sacrament of the Sick/Last Rites the day before surgery?
