- Go to "Please don't let me die in my sleep tonight," I prayed.
I hope you are feeling better..And since I read your last post after this
one, I can assume, you didn't die in your sleep. Seriously, I don't know how old you are, but I would stop being a loner. Get out there, meet people. Make sure someone would miss you the minute you weren't around. It might save your life. (In more ways than one).....

We can take some
actions before our death to take care of some of the things that you mentioned. My belief is that once your body quits, your spirit moves on to it's next adventure, so I don't really care where death happens.

HI Quirky,
I don't want to add to your fears or alternatively make too little of them, but maybe to make yourself feel better you could look into a Medicalert kind of device, one that calls 911 for you or something if you do feel like you're getting too "accident" prone.

Quirky, you are not alone in worrying about what would happen! I worry
what would happen if my husband, children and I were in say, a car accident... what would happen to our dogs, cat, mice, rats, snakes, turtle, fish and bird? I mean they would last a few days, I am sure, but what if no one knew? It is irrational though, surely parents would be found and notified and someone would come or send someone to take care of the animals, right?? How does that work?
Hope you are feeling better by now, probably a blood-sugar or blood-pressure thing... you should get it checked out if you are truly, concerned!

You remind me of my sister!
I'm not making light of the fact that you could have a serious condition, but she is the excat same way. I hope there is nothing serious wrong with you. My friend is afraid she's going to die of a blod clot. I don't even know what to say about it to her. There must be a hypochondriac flu going around! lol! I hope you feel better

Hi Quirks,
I think about this a lot (probably TOO much), and realize I need to get a will written and a plan put in place. On a lighter note ... my ex mother in law used to say that if she suddenly died I was to do two things immediately without hesitation: throw out all of her underware and her pots and pans so nobody would see how worn they were! Ever since she said that, I've kept those items "up-to-date"!

Quirky--- I know the feeling (not the light-headedness, though).
For those of us who live alone (except for our pets), it's probably a common, although mostly irrational, fear. Hope that you are feeling better.

I'd be sure rescue teams were sent to the Fleabag Motel!!!
I'd notice if my friend Quirky weren't around!

Hi Quirks....Boy, I'm with you.....
I hope you are back on your feet today and feeling stronger...I mean, I don't want to die a torturous death by any sort, but I don't want to die not knowing. Does that make sense? I would hate to be in a coma. I think I would rather be shot and know I was going out, but not be in too much pain...Yikes...None of that sounds good right now...lol...

Have you considered vertigo? It sounds very much like that. Do you have any nausea?
