Jump, ah no

The daily prompt asks – What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

There are a good number of things I fear trying to do. For example, skydiving, bungie jumping or cliff diving leap to mind. They all involve substantial heights so no thank you.

What would it take to get me to do these. The plane would have to be about to crash for me to jump out of it. Nothing is going to get me to bungie jump because I’ve never seen a rubber band that hasn’t broken. I’ve gone off the high dive, but you wouldn’t even get me near a cliff.

Fear

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? So asks the last question of the month.

Nothing scares me more than going to the doctor for test results of my last cancer check. I’ve heard bad news a couple times in the past and I’ve been lucky enough to pull through both. But every 3, 6, 9 or 12 months I get tested and have been for many years now.

It terrifies me that something might have spread or a new one develops. I’m pretty good about blocking things out between test but a week or two before my appointment with the doctor, I can’t get it out of my head.

Love of Life is what it takes to keep me going back and back.

I hope I never have to go through those doors again. Photo by Mike Hartley
