Learning Curve

We always learn from experience don't we? I've learned that I will tell my kids to stick my butt in the nursing home when things get too hard. I think I've learned that I will not opt for meds that will not prolong my life long enough to warrant dealing with the awful side effects. I've learned that I will need to have hope, yet be practical and face the truth. But, I've also learned that what you've learned goes out the window when your body is attacked and your mind can't keep up.
