How often do you think about the following more than in passing thought?

Daily? Every once in a while? Once a year tops? Even less than that?

1. Terrorism
2. AIDS/HIV
3. Cancer
4. Other health threat

Has thinking about any of the above ever kept you up at night?

**************************************

Me:

1. Terrorism - Rarely. If someone else mentions it.

2. AIDS/HIV: pretty often being a single (at the moment) lady.

3. Cancer - I worry about this whenever I get a bad cough because several months ago, a good friend of mine went to the doctor thinking she had bronchitis. Instead, they found out she had leukemia. She passed away two months ago. She was my age and had no idea she had it. We used to play Spades together.

4. Other health: all the time. I need to exercise more and continue to be diligent in watching my weight since I have diabetes on both sides of the family.

Also, in my family tree, we get brain problems, Alzheimer, epilepsy, and bi-polar disorders.

So sometimes these things keep me up at night.
