re: Pondering Life With My Situation

Don’t give up dude… I’ve been there, but you have to want it. Had 19 surgeries and thought I was a goner, I was 58 and thought life wasn’t worth living anymore when they had to put a bag on me… I was miserable and felt hopeless. But my inner strength and a new found faith I was able to overcome most of my health problems and love live now and feel better than ever.

Wow I'm so sorry, that is rough but good hearing from others who have gotten through it.

What gets me is I constantly worry that if I'm this screwed up at 40 (and have been this screwed up for several years) what's waiting for me if I make it to 50? To 60?

I guess in some ways I know I'm not young anymore and that's hard to deal with. And I feel like some of my youth was robbed a little bit by my medical history. So I guess in many ways I'm now battling both medical conditions and a mid life crisis.
