    2018 - Having a heart attack and being told I need open heart surgery.

    Nothing has scared me since then.

    Most every day this week, I’m scared that I’m not going to be able to accomplish all that I want and should.

    I’m scared of letting down the people I care about most.

    I’m scared that I’m not going to be strong enough when life throws really brutal curve balls at me.

    Two months ago the lymph node under my left collar bone got very inflamed. I went to the doctor who ordered an ultrasound and chest x-ray. The ultrasound was, “worrying” so they ordered a CT. The CT suggested that my lymph nodes had gone bad. I spent the last two months afraid that I was going to leave my kids unsupported as one was finishing her first year of university and the other his first year of high school. A couple of days ago I got the best possible news under the circumstances that I have Hodgkins Lymphoma which is curable and I am expected to go on and live a long life.

    I had a nightmare where a gory monster was in my attic, and got scared when I saw it.

    I teamed up with my family and we dissected it after killing it :D

    Last week my kid’s mare got spooked by a plastic bag while said kid was riding her. They never flinched and everything was under control in a few seconds but you bet I was unable to breath while watching from afar.

    When my heart stopped beating in the middle of the night.

    Luckily, the human body has mechanisms to force start a heart again. Not funny, though, 0/10, don’t recommend.
