...when it comes my time to go, I want to have Hugh Hefners life pass before my eyes. Mine was so fricken boring.

Re: "Over the years I have heard of several people who were told they had a short time to live who decided to keep living and lived years."
I don't know if your conclusion is right or not, but I will say this: Getting out of bed when you're sick is about the best thing you can do to improve your chances. It's also about the hardest. When you're REALLY sick, one of the things you're least inclined to do is to get onto your feet.

Many years ago, I had a 105° fever for a considerable time. It felt like an eternity though it was actually only for most of one night. At some point as I was lying there, it occurred to me that I might be dying - which isn't too far fetched since temps of 106° and above can result in brain damage. I remember thinking about that and also that I didn't care. Not a bit. It's hard to care about anything when you're miserable.

The only other time I thought I might be dying was when I had those kidney stones. I'd misdiagnosed the problem as being an intestinal blockage... and that really CAN be fatal. On that occasion, I definitely *did* care, but I also wasn't delusional like I probably was when I had the fever.
