It's a silent type disease that typically doesn't show symptoms for years and years until suddenly it does so it's really easy to ignore .
I don't have the fear of death or any of that, but I really don't want my old lady nor my kids to have to deal with the problems that can come with it . I'm probably closer with my son than at any time he was growing up and don't want him to go through dealing with my problems so I pretty much don't discuss it with him or my daughter and since they live in Ohio there's really nothing they can do anyway . I don't see any point to making them worry needlessly..
I can understand that.... I usually don't share my burdens with others.
