To the OP...WOOT!

 

Sorry for all you have gone through and glad you made it and are back with us. You've been missed.

 

Yes, I echo the best wishes to your recovery! Jim

 

Hope your recovery continues well!

 

Feel (get) better, John.

 

John, may the Lord guide and comfort you, he will help you along the way, get better soon!

 

I felt terrible as I cried reading all that John has been through.

 

If we were fully rational and had our priorities straight, one of our biggest holidays would be "Celebrate Modern Medicine Day". We take it for granted, but MAN! are we lucky to have it.

 

I don't know, man. I think about the hours I've spent cooling my heels in the waiting room for the ER, the thousands of dollars I've spent on prescription meds, the hassle of scheduling appointments... if not for modern medicine, I wouldn't have had to deal with any of that.

Because then I also wouldn't have had to deal with that one incredibly painful butt-shot of antibiotic for that one bug bite that got infected. (Man, that hurt.) The infection would've just flat taken me out, and then I wouldn't have had to worry about all the other stuff. Hey, thirty-odd years is long enough for anyone to live, right?

 

#1 cause of death is living.

 

Correlation doesn't necessarily prove causation, but when the correlation is 100%...

 

Ya, the system could definitely use some upgrades for sure. But the technology and capabilities would be nothing short of magical to people that lived 100+ years ago.

It's a lot more than was afforded to most of the 120-odd-billion humans that have existed on this planet. But, more is usually better!

 

That's rough news. I was wondering. Hoping you recover completely. Sounds like you are a fighter. Keep it up. In my prayers today.

 

God bless you sir, I know how it is. 5 back surgeries and still can’t get around too well. You take care and perhaps I can buy a coin from you someday.

 

Medicine does some things very well. I’m humming along in remission from a rare lymphoma that would have been guaranteed fatal by now five years ago. The miracle of targeted therapy drugs. $150 per month deductible but to say the least well worth it.

 

Glad to hear you are recovering. Welcome back, John.
