Honestly, I'm not sure you should write a memoir - or aren't you already writing a memoir? I love these short form entries, some of them have provoked probing, profound changes in the way I see things. Your singular focus and engagement with all the joys and conundrums that arise in the medical, political, personal worlds you pass through during your journey towards death have inspired me to take giant steps in coping with the finite amount of sand in the hourglass. Most important: to suck every drop of miracle out of the glass. If it's a memoir collection of these wonderful essays, and writing more of them as the need and opportunity arises - yes. Sitting in front of a blank screen wondering "how shall I begin" - I'd say no - it takes too much time away from making the pasta. Of course, I am being facetious - but I hope to see more entries here. The Median is the Message! MAID in Canada! Thank you, Bold Bill.
Thank you for being courageous in sharing your experiences and insights.
I recently read and enjoyed Quaker activist, George Lakey, memoir: Dancing with History. Not a perfect person, but still inspirational. Thank you for sharing your journey. We are all just walking each other home. You are lighting the way for others. Thank you.
The reason to turn this into a memoir is that it provides an opportunity to (try and) tie things together. Everytime I go over the material I learn more.
Thank you, Kathi.
(But I don't think I am courageous. My father was a parachute infantry officer in WW2. Women give birth. Those things are courageous.)

Thanks, Ted -- those are encouraging words.
