I don't think its a matter of thinking I'm really sick that bothers me any more. I think its a matter of being any form of sick at all that bothers me. That somehow even being a little sick (like my current sore throat and general sinus badness) is proof that I'm not invincible.
Of course, I've never though I was but I think being sick is a tengible reminder that I can (and will be) incurably sick at some point. I'm hoping this will be when I'm 110 years old but, we shall see.
The point is, being sick is a reminder that I'm mortal. I don't like that. I prefer to think I'll always be as healthy as I am. I know that's a stupid notion considering the high blood pressure, cholesterol and whatever else I think I have. I just don't need such a slap in the face.
