There are bits that are just kind of alarming, such as notarizing the power of attorney that I now get in case something goes wrong.

This is the sort of condition where there's a 4% chance of death in surgery but 10% each year you don't get it taken care of.

It's all so very shocking to us. But this is what life is, really, and before the CT scan and modern medicine it wouldn't even have been detected until the end.
