Would you want to know?

Talking with friends yesterday the question came up as to whether you would want to know what the future had in store for you. Assuming that to a certain degree our future is in our hands and we make our own decisions would you want to know everything that was going to happen to you. Would you want to know if something good was going to happen or something bad. It rather surprised me that several said they would like to know and be prepared for good or bad. Personally I would not want to know but make my decisions and hope that they would be the right ones. I worry enough now about things, if I knew what was going to happen in the future I don't think I would cope. confused

Thank you everyone, and Pogs? don`t be silly, you didn`t know.
What is annoying is that (hope this isn`t TMI) he`d been sick and hadn`t eaten anything for a week before being admitted to hospital. On Tuesday of last week, after 2 days of him being ill, being sick, really terrible stomach pain, and slight bleeding from his back passage, also difficulty getting his breath, I dialled 111. The person I spoke to said that from my replies to his questions he needed to see a GP within the hour. There weren`t any appointments available, so we had to go and sit and wait. When we saw the doctor, he listened to his chest, said his breathing was perfectly fine, examined his stomach and said nothing wrong there, and said there was nothing out of place in his back passage. I asked why he was feeling so bad then, and he said he`d probably got a bit of a bug. 5 days later he was admitted through A&E seriously ill! I asked at the hospital why his GP hadn`t spotted anything wrong, and was informed that GPs are only trained up to a certain level!
He still isn`t at all well, but does look a little better than when he was admitted. The main pain is when the contents of his bowel (sorry!) come up through the tube down his nose.
Once again, thank you all, and DaphneB and Tegan, hopefully one day we`ll meet up again xx

Such a trying time for both of you and your extended family.

I have no doubt so many of us feel and understand the emotional trauma you are going through and can only wish you both life's kindness falls on you both. [x]
