WOMAN’S FINAL WISHES CREATE ANGST AND ARGUMENT IN FAMILY
Dear Abby DEAR ABBY: I am 76. My husband and I planned our final wishes for cremation because I have had a lifelong fear of being buried underground.
Aspirin won’t reduce risk of stroke as well as anticoagulants
DEAR DR ROACH: I am 83 and in great health, with mountain biking about four times a week and generally staying active. I had atrial fibrillation (AFib) at age 75, which appears to have abated after two ablations; this was confirmed by Holter monitoring for two weeks, then an additional week last year. Additionally, I don’t have any AFib symptoms.
