Good luck there.  My mother died from a pulmonary embolism.  That was 40 
years ago and medicine has advanced quite a bit since then.

And a shot of Bushmills to your health.

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again
