It's nice to have a break now and then, but mine don't last very long - maybe a few weeks and mostly due to weather.

I agree; I've experienced what you have and it's not pleasant. Conversely, A relative of mine died mid-sentence sitting upright in a chair; apparently no pain whatsoever; just keeled over like flipping off a light switch... If you got to pick a way to go....
