* excruciating death by suffocation — from lungs made uselessly rigid by scarring from deeply embedded asbestos mineral fibers,

* Cancer,

* Mesothelioma,

* kitchen tables ladden with pill containers, unless the grandchildren are visiting.  Then the pills are put up out of view and reach of the grandbabies,

* oxygen tanks or cylinders and coils of tubing beside the bed, or next to the best armchair in the living room,

* unable to make it across the room,

* clubbing of your fingertips and nails caused by a prolonged state of inadequate oxygenation.
