Sorry to hear about your Health issues. Praying that you continue to thrive. One good thing to know is that we live in an amazing age when it comes to Treatments for what ails us.

A Friend of ours had his first Heart Attack in his 30’s. Last year at age 55 he felt it was happening again and he ended up having a quadruple Bypass. He is doing fine today thank God.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Leukemia fifteen Years ago and next Month I will passing through the outside 15 year survival threshold I was given at the time. I was fortunate that the multiple Chemotherapy Regimens I have had throughout this adventure have kept me going this long.

About five years ago after my last Chemotherapy Regime my Immune System crashed. I almost bought the farm and the only thing that saved me was Plasma Infusion Therapy. I had exhausted all other treatments over three Months.

When we encounter these types of life threatening Health issues it does give us pause to reflect on what is important in our Lives. The change in perspective is something that is hard to explain, but it’s there.

Take care my FRiend.

Yes the change can be quite profound. I am think about doing an article like “What changes when you survive a heart attack?”

I think people who havent had such an experience may find hearing about it interesting, and possibly comforting. I know that I have no fear of death now. It is tremendously freeing.

Best Regards

Mark
