Kep...I am so with you on this one in a way. I ignored subtle signs along the way for years. Then I got 'hit' and had an unexplained seizure and wound up in intensive care for 3 1/2 weeks with all the resultant tubes, masks and sticky pads attached and a Million dollars worth of gear in the room. It took me almost three years and 5 surgeries to get back almost to what I used to be but WITHOUT all the little 'annoyances' that I had.
I know you and Judy and others have those spells where you feel "lower than a snakes belly button in a wagon rut" BUT ....
If they find it, cut it out, patch it up, show you how to avoid it again you are so much the better for it!
I've been there and I know what you are going through. Every dam time they do another test you wonder. "What the hell are they gonna find this time?"
Keep the Faith! If it gets to you and you want a place to let it out send me an email while pounding that keyboard as hard as you like and I WILL respond and 'pat your shoulder', wipe your tears, hold your hand, kick your butt and do whatever it takes to keep you going and somewhat sane!
We are ALL pulling for you and are here for you. Let us/me be a part of your support system!
