        Dying is the easy bit. It's what comes immediately before that is difficult.
        Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
        he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                  Similarly, I would not know if I had lost my mind, so that does not worry me.

                  On the other hand to have a clear and active mind, but paralysed, blind, deaf, incontinent and totally aware of the situation . . .

                    What frightens me most is lonliness and dependancy. I have two wonderful daughters who I am sure will have me in their lives but being the kind of person I am I would want them to have their own lives and not be saddled down with "old mom" all the time.

                      Much scarier than the thought of me dying is the thought of my husband dying, and being alone. I especially hate the thought of getting old alone. I have a great aunt in her late 90's, and she's still doing great mentally, doing OK physically. She's sad all the time because her husband died, her children have died, and all her friends have died. I'd hate to be the last one left.
