If you die slowly, you get to learn a lot

I always thought I wanted to die all at once, like a sudden heart attack. But that doesn’t seem to be the way I’m going as I have cancer and it’s the slow growing type. Also, we’ve decided not to treat it with a bunch of not too bright doctor’s ideas. One, because I don’t want to bother and two, because the treatments seem more intrusive than the cancer, itself. Anyway, so I’ve been on air for 6 years and that hasn’t killed me and the cancer, although sometimes painful, is just forcing me to be less active because I’m wobbly on my legs .This leaves a lot of time for intellectual pursuits, which I have grown to enjoy as my age progresses. And having access to a computer is the key. People are starting to tell me I don’t seem MI. You can imagine how happy that makes me feel. So, all in all, I’m saying dying slowly isn’t a bad thing. I don’t go moping around the house feeling sorry for myself. It’s ok with me. :+1:

I’m likely to die of some form of dementia. It’s what both my parents died of. That’s a slow, lingering death too. I hope I don’t get all mean when I am going downhill.
