I was told a few weeks ago that this body, if left untreated, probably has less than a year to live. I asked the doctor, "To die from kidney disease-- is it an easy death?" And he said, "Yeah, it's a nice death. You get really tired and foggy and then disappear." That's pretty much how I feel. But then my wife said she would kill me violently if I did that, so it isn't an option.
