sweetana - do you mind if I ask, what type of scan did you have that shows there is no plaque? I thought that the only way to find this out was the stress/treadmill test followed by some sort of...
To Posters who are talking about using a trust to simplify things -- you mean you already put all your assets in a trust NOW, while you are alive, right?

These situations are so hard. It seems to be a common problem that people refuse to make any changes until some sort of emergency event happens (broken hip, fall, fire, accidental meds overdose,...
