"Do you know what today was supposed to be?" Daniels asked her doting friend, Amy LeCoe.

"What was today supposed to be?" LeCoe responded.

"It's the day I was supposed to have my surgery."

"How do you feel about that?"

Daniels grew even quieter, LeCoe recalls.

"Don't tell anybody," Daniels said. "But I don't feel like I'm going to be Christine anymore. I feel like pulling the plug."
