(55,371 posts)it's speculation.
For example, you could be right that he's getting ready to check out because he didn't seek medical attention in the past where it could have made a difference. Who knows how many mild heart attacks or strokes he's had? Not to mention, it wouldn't surprise me if he lied to his doctor. A lot of patients do. And there's a point in treating patients where essentially, there isn't much left to do for them. You tell them to put their affairs in order. Finally, TSF isn't using his "Maybe I'll get into Heaven, maybe not" to raise money. ("Send $25 to Donald J. Trump to help him get into Heaven"
If he was pretty sure he was going to get a few more years in, he'd be using it for "donations".
But flipping the argument that his demise is sooner than later, again, we haven't seen his medical chart. To the best of my knowledge, humans can't be kept alive indefinitely. But with the NIH and Walter Reed nearby, I'll guess that TSF is getting better medical care than you and myself..
That being said, I just lost a dear, dear friend in the Spring. He died "suddenly", but in hindsight, maybe not. I've been remembering stuff we discussed six months before he died. He dropped hints and I didn't pick them up. (I don't believe that he wanted me to know that he was going to die as he didn't want our last conversation to be with me crying into the telephone.) But perhaps, TSF is giving us a heads up.
In any case, it can't come soon enough.
