Would you rather lose your mind or have your body fail?

2. I went through the mind part with my Dad. Lasted about three years.

It was absolutely devastating for me and my sibs. For my Dad, some days were good, others must have been horror, I could see it in his eyes.

On the other hand, my FIL has been diagnosed with an inoperable aneurysm by his spine and kidney. He's day to day as turning wrong, sneezing, just about anything could cause it to rupture and he's done. This was a man who worked heavy construction all his life and was in fact operating backhoes until he was 70.

Honestly I can't say which I'd prefer. They both suck bigtime.
