Re: "Okay,. I am done. We all just care about ya and want you to be part of our little world for as long as possible.."
That's VERY kind of you. But I feel completely NORMAL... so all the concern is kind of embarrassing! Honestly, if a number of doctors hadn't told me that I've got a serious problem, I wouldn't know. One even said that the reason to operate NOW is because the valve is starting to show symptoms. It almost makes me think that maybe I should have kept my yap shut! And what if the chest pain is being caused by acid reflux or something else? Nobody has even looked down my throat! Wow, would that ever make those eggheads feel dumb.

So it all seems absurd. It's like going to the doctor for a blister and having him tell you you've got two years to live. "Uh, WHAT?????? Yer sh***ing me, right???" That's what's going on in my head.

I want to go out and turn the mountain of compost, or mow the lawn, or apply more gravel to the driveway. I'm just thinking it might be a bit foolish...

The recommendation to start populating a spreadsheet with things my wife and son might need is a good one. It won't be all that hard, really, since most of the info is already collected on my laptop. I've given my wife the laptop password, and the passwords needed to decrypt key files on the laptop. With what she has, she can get passwords to my e-mail accounts, my investment accounts and to cloud storage. Much of this she's already got. She does our taxes, after all. (Lucky me.) So I just need to make sure she has ALL of it.

I'm embarrassed to say that I've never done a will. Now it's time to do one. I should probably set up a trust, but I don't think there's enough time for that. Surgery is presumably less than a month away.

I need to complete and turn in a building permit for the house. The application asks questions I don't fully understand or have the answers to, so I need to go talk to my builder and gets his help. Next week I need to haul boxes to the barn. I've finally gotten the 'okay' from my builder. He's sheetrocking this week, so the floor space will FINALLY be mine to use. De-cluttering our living quarters is important. With what's coming, I don't know if I'll be on crutches, in a wheel chair... or....

There's a lot to think about.
