No, I don't want to see my expiration date every single time I close my eyes. That would just ruin whatever time I have left because that's all I would ever think about.

I think you'd get over that. I don't think it'd be any worse than normally contemplation of mortality, eventually. There'd be the initial shock, and then again as it nears, but I think it's worth it to know.
