to drag up an old cliche, your doctor has just told you that you have 6 months to live.

[Poll #533707]

feel free to share the why/s of your decision in the comments.

to the best of my knowledge, i have not and will not be hearing any such information from (any of) my doctor(s).

eta: i changed my response to be more honest.

I would prefer not to worry people, but would, in the end, decide that they really ought to know.

Doesn't going to grad school qualify as "living it up", anyway?

i'm not so sure many will agree that grad school really counts as "living it up". i was going to add "except maybe in the intellectual sense", except even that, doesn't seem so probable.

Maybe I was just too sedate when I was younger. I have far more of a social life than I used to.

And my friends are far more interesting.

the reality is, i probably would not only not tell those close to me, but would go (even more than i already do) out of my way to push them
away/keep them at bay.

some habits die hard.

a_ thanks for asking.
b_ the whole point of the disclaimer was to keep anyone from getting worried.
c_ you still have to answer (if you want).

a_ You're welcome.
b_ I was too worried by the time I found the disclaimer to be thoroughly convinced.
c_ I might answer the survey much, much, much, much later, but not in the near future.
aim_ I'll be online again in a few hours. I'll look for you then.

i just had a change in plans.

i'm going out to sit around my friend's un airconditioned apartment and watch her drink red wine/consider if i want to tempt fate (headaches) and imbibe. (shush.)

i'll still be back later.
