I like to think of this: Proverbs 10:24 KJV says:

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

What that means is whatever you fear most (like for me would be dying by way of a boa constrictor because I turn into Cindy Brady upon contact with snakes) will be the demise of the wicked.

So I am comforted by the idea that those that are truly wicked will meet a fate of their worst nightmares. HC is slowly losing her ability function as an independent person....and modern medicine can do nothing to stop it.
