Chixter, I totally understand what you are saying--have had similar thoughts myself. The problem is that if you do have something wrong and ignore it, making you terminal, your wife will still have to take care of you. I took care of my husband as he went through treatment and as he was dying. The last months before his death were much more difficult than the care he needed while undergoing treatment. Bottom line, you wouldn't be saving anyone any work by dying--not many people get to die without someone having to care for them in the process.
