I don't spend time considering choices that I might have had under different circumstances. I am living on now 8 years and 2 months of "borrowed time" already. If and when a societal breakdown happens, I'll be among the first to go, and I'm entirely okay with that. I'm over eight years into "house money" already. If what happened to me in 2009 had happened in 1999, I'd already be "worm food". There was no technology then to save me. I am just lucky to be within 12 miles of one of the finest brain injury acute care hospitals in the country. Funny thing, though. My "old man", who died at 95, had a steadier walking gait up until 30 days of his death than I do now. That's how melanoma takes people.[/QUOTE]
