I had already accepted that as a fact.
Having (poetically speaking) looked death in the face I found out that
I'm not afraid to die, but I don't want to quit living.  The doctors
tell me that I "flat-lined" on the operating table.  When I realized
that for a few precious seconds my kids didn't have a dad and my wife
didn't have a husband, it brought reality to the forefront.  I also
realized that there are (poetically speaking again) many bridges that I
haven't yet crossed and that I WANT to cross.  I exercise so that I can
do all those things that I haven't done yet.
