COT: Pin Prick’s outline

**Intro**
1st line: “When the fall is all that’s left, it matters a great deal.”
Movie — *The Lion in Winter*

**Goal**
a) Tell my story
b) Share some lessons learned
c) Good discussion → 3 Questions

1. Relationships → Who matters in our life?
2. Lies we tell ourselves → Prioritize time?
3. What we own → What can we control?

1. Relationships
(a) Day 1 diagnosis — massive impact
– Day 1 story (Nana)
– It takes an Army — full-time job
(b) Loss of Self
– Grief starts at day 1
– Shower — too hard
– You lose yourself long before death

★ Who do you call 1st?

2. Lies We Tell Ourselves
We’re good to seize the day — build out a bucket list, but life (treatment) happens
– Treatment (or life) — 60 days, 5 not in the hospital
– Birthday — 8 hrs at hospital
– When you’re healthy — you’ve got lots of issues, When you’re sick — you have 1

★ Where do you spend your time? Are we lying to ourselves about or prioritizes and how we spend out time?

3. What I Control
1) My Voice — self-advocate, spine surgery
2) My Attitude — good vibes only; find humor, fentanyl joke
– Cancer, not funny — jokes about cancer, very funny
3) My Reason — my daughter; a better world through education

★ Are you focused on what you control?

**Close**
I’m not a pro — just drifting the best I can. But I know I’m falling. And I care very much about *how* I fall. The way you do anything, is the way you do anything. Doesn’t matter how much time left you have, but how you spend your time, with the right people, doing what you truly want to prioritize, while focusing on what we control – that’s what success looks like.

Whats one thing you want to change, today that will make your life better?
