How much longer will my mom live?
She's currently 64. She has a lot of health issues, including (but not limited to):
Loeys Dietz (a connective tissue disorder), epilepsy, celiac disease, a pacemaker and artificial heart valve, very severe osteoporosis, scoliosis, arthritis, as well as a random assortment of other random things going wrong that the doctors don't understand.
Despite best efforts she's mostly bedridden, on good days able to do a 10-minute walk. She's in constant pain.
How old will she be when she dies? Her birthday is in the first quarter of the year.

Research shows that most medical expenditures are incurred during the final three years of life. This seems to align with many of the people I know, who once they start to have major issues, have about three years left.
Therefore, I would suggest that the answer should be around 67.
