Subject: Post 226 A: Dead Like Me, Bye - Bye Miss American Pie! Author: teltalheart/moderator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:58:34 01/13/09 Tue Author Host/IP: rcluster.propel.com/67.72.98.47 Post 226 A: Dead Like Me, Bye - Bye Miss American Pie! It's amazing how you feel when you first hear it. "But, we found something..." Where to start? From the beginning. A few days ago I was driving to work. A guy pull out in front of me. He came across a four lane road and a median directly into my path. I tried to avoid him as best I could. But, as a witness stated "He (I) never had a chance." I slammed into the side of the bed of the truck. Apparently, I had tried to cut to my left and go around the tail-end of the truck. My vehicle was smashed on the front passengers side the most. My vehicle slid sideways to the right and struck a guardrail on my, the driver's, side. I was taken to the hospital with neck and back pain. I was X-rayed for broken bones. None were found. The Doctor came in, "Well, we didn't find any broken bones. But, we found something else." That's about the time your brain goes into suspended animation. "You have a spot on your right lung." And that's about the time you feel the blood drain from your body. Today was the day of my C.T. scan. Now I get to wait. I get to wonder if I'm going to be here in 2010. I'm not afraid of dieing. I would just prefer there to be as little pain as possible. Lung cancer is not the preferred way to go. What pisses me off is I don't smoke. I have never smoked. But, a lot of the people I work around do. Hey, thanks guys. Nice way to begin the new year. When you get to be around fifty years old you get the feeling your apartment shopping every time you pass a cemetery. "Now, where do I want to be put?" you ask yourself. Especially if your hobby is like mine, genealogy, you spend an inordinate amount of time in cemeteries. For some strange reason for the past year I've been feeling as if time is running out. Did I tell you I'm attempting to write a book. I just hope I have enough time to finish. No matter what we achieve in life all we ever really have is thoughts and memories, and those we leave behind.
