Is anyone sick or know anyone

^^ At what age or in what condition, should a person just be "written off"??
That's a wonderful question.
There was a Facebook post from one of my friends the other day. She was upset that her kidney transplant that had been scheduled, planed and looked forward to for months, was postponed.
She was told it was an elective surgery. I've known this girl since high school. I knew that she's dealt with kidney disease for some time. She's devastated.
She was written off.
I was supposed to have my pacemaker replaced. I was told in December it needs to be done by May. It was supposed to have gone down a week ago today. It was postponed as well. I have idea when as of right now. I can tell you that if we had done it, I'd be a week into recovery by now and wouldn't have to wonder if this damn thing is going to shut down any time.
I may have been written off.
And all the while, the crowds applaud while Nero plays the fiddle as Rome burns.
