A doctor once said to me that dying on the table was not such a bad way to go. (There can be no greater problem for you than that? But of course there can. Anyways.......)
He said that when I complained about brain surgery on an old friend who was clearly on the way out. It occurs to me that I may not be being helpful at all! Anyway, when I had surgery the other day this came back to me and I thought that at least if I died I would be packed full of morphine or the equivalent.
There's so much to be frightened of, isn't there? What goes on inside your torso really doesn't bear thinking about. It will probably be all right but you already know that FWIW. If 40mg Valium doesn't help much I doubt more is the answer. I too dread heart problems......I would rather the slow march of cancer. I don't like surprises.
Dread? Interesting word. What is your worst fear? Maybe I shouldn't ask?
