Due to suspected liver failure I have been in a situation where I was told I only had a few months to live at most.

Every morning I had a blood test and every evening I got a number back. If the number went below a certain level then my liver had failed and I was to die (there was no hope of a transplant). That number had already been passed. If the number went below the next line then I was probably already dead.
I was told there was almost no hope of survival.

Its very strange to look in to the next month and see an eternity.
The time I had alone, I spent preparing my self. I needed a lot of that.
In the time time spend with friends I found my self feeling strangely benevolent to everyone.
I never got the feeling that I had missed out on anything, despite being young at the time.
Its terrifying, but you have no choice other than accepting it. If it was a execution instead of ilness I don't think my mind would have accepted it. I think that would make things a lot harder.

I spent 4 days in which it was believed that my liver had failed before the number started creeping up again. Fortunately I made a almost complete recovery.

when you don't have any time left, you try to do what you can for those that you really care about.

He looked very calm on tv before he was executed, I think he had been preparing himself for the year previous to the time he was hanged. He must have known that he would never be allowed to live.

I wouldnt know what a despot would be thinking...I can only imagine.

It makes me wonder what he thought about when he gassed his own people.(Kurds)
I wonder if he thought about his rape and torture rooms.
I wonder if he thought of all the horrible things he did.
I wonder now if his religious beliefs were correct. Im sure he knows.

I'd be quite surprised if he considered them to be his own people. Over there, I think the group of "own people" is mostly limited to relatives. And he wasn't known for being overly religious either.

Well, apparently livers are good at recovering from most kinds of damage if they don't fail. (if they fail they stop working all together)
I had to take vitamins on a drip for a couple of months and then tablets for a few weeks, but with in a few months I could go to the pub etc.
Ive just got a list of drugs I can't take now and I've been advised not to get too pissed.

Legitamatley? I'd tell my little Hannah that I loved her and to know that I'd be watching over her

I'd come here and berate the collective forum one last time. Then, I'd die in the classic Lorne Greene pose from Battlestar Galactica. Best...death....ever.....
