The Threat Of The End
Recently I had a Doctor’s appointment for a lingering cold. In the exam he found something that changed the expression on his face. He was listening to my neck. He said he heard a “sound” that prompted him to order tests. The sound could be block arteries that could have a definite result of a stroke. He concluded this appointment by stating that the test would only confirm his suspicions and prepare for surgery. I should receive the notification for testing within a few days. Now, at this point, I’m really not hearing the words coming out of his mouth. Tests! Stroke! Surgery! Not a burden I want to put on my family. When one has a condition that could affect not only yourself, but your loved one, you take a step back and prepare for the worse. It’s time to put your affairs in order. Time to amend my will. Go through important papers. Make sure my husband AND myself are on all important holdings. My beneficiaries are in place. I certainly do not want to cause my family any more pain than they will endure. The point? Make sure that you make each and every day count. Live it with love. Within a second there could be the threat of the end.
