By specific, I mean not general fears like fear of heights or spiders.

If it’s okay, would you explain why? Did you make your preparations in case of death, or are like “give your best shot, life”?

Really, the only thing I was scared of was needles. Well, I've been poked and stabbed more times since 2018 than I can count. Another blood draw and IV last Thursday in fact.

Your perspective on fear and pain changes once you've been cracked open like a lobster and laced back up with metal like a ballet slipper.
