Nikki the registered nursecalled this morning to remind me of my scheduled surgery on Thursday .
As we finished talking about possible scenarios,she asked me if there's anything I am particularly scared of or worried about.

I told her that I 'm not crazy about the way I'm going to die my biggest fear probably is the pain that I will have to go thru .  I'd like to remain calm yet the 5 hours surgery is gonna make me feel panicky no matter how much self control I exercise . Other than that nothing really worries me we all have to go one way or another ,don't we ? Yup it's hard but also good to speak of the future and the potential lack thereof . 
She asked me how I keep my cool . I told her it's time and practice .... after all this isn't my first death rehearsal .... and possibly more to come ?!
