I am afraid of reduction. After a lifetime's independence- yes, selfish independence- I am terrified of being reduced to childhood once more, to helplessness, to seas of confusion from which the cruel lucid intervals poke up like rock shoals. I don't want to sit in my chair and be fed, much less do I want to be handed over to medical professionals. ↗

For the first time I could remember, I felt weak, woozy and stupid— like a human-being. Like a very small and helpless human-being. ↗
