I only remember a few things after being rushed into the ER. The droning lights that hurt my eyes, the constant beep of my heart, the sound of blood dripping next to my ear, and the next few words that changed my life. "The process might save you, but the risks of failure are severe." "Can I have it?" "Oh yes my dear boy, you can have it all!" Now I wish I'd said no. Now I wish I could have asked them to take me off life support. All I can do now is scream.
