I was absolutely terrified going into surgery. I realized I have so much life yet to live. I did not want to die. I thought, I don't want to die, and it was such a strange thought because I've never actively wanted to live as much as I did when I had to face my mortality in such a specific way. I began to think of all the things I still wanted to do, the words I had yet to write. I thought about my friends, my family, my person.
