I'm a single dad now(kids are 10 and 12), so I am worried about the possibility of fairly quick death due to aspiration pneumonia. But, I can do a lot of things to be healthier, and may live for another twenty years

BTW, that Astrology/The Factor exacta from Pool 2 pays about $7,000!

If this were a poker site, I'd say you had a bad beat! Try to stay pro-active on cures or procedures that would alleviate some or all of your distress, and hopefully lengthen your life for a good, long period of time.
