That's quite an optimistic outlook on things. OTOH, I thought I'd be dead by the

starts jumping on my back, I realize that maybe I should tone down my complaints about modern appliances for a while. ;)

We should have done something like that for my grandmother. She had
fallen and broken her hip at 98 and she recovered. We were all set to celebrate her 100th birthday. There was a room booked and food arranged.
We we all set for the big day. Then about two and a half weeks before
her birthday she fell and broke her hip again. She didn't survive the
second one. This was close to 40 years ago and the standard practice
was to have the funeral 4 days later. If it had happened lately no one
would have blinked if she was cremated and a ceremony of some type a few weeks or months later.
