AA hang in there and fight. I am 81 and in four years, I lost my wife, a son, had a triple bypass. My arteries in my neck had to be cleaned out, the left side is 100% blocked. My intestines locked and I had to have surgery to unblock, then my kidneys failed. I had a vessel burst on the left side of my brain, had to learn to talk again, that stroke almost did me in but I healed. I woke up starving. Three days after bypass I went to the hosp to see my wife, she was in intensive care and never made it. I had to have two cateracts removed got my vision back 20-20. That all happened in two and a half years, the last 18 months, I have been trying to get in shape, two miles a day is best I can do, I was going to try for five but I just cannot reach it. My doctor has not seen me in four months, my appt is two months away. Remember when Castro had his problem, I was in the same condition and all the talk about what his condition was had me thinking. The press put such a grave image on that that I had to think they were putting on a show and now I think I was right. You listen to the doctors and specialists, follow their lead, you can do it. I was lucky, and put all the credit on the nurses and doctors and army of technicians. It was like building a purse out of a sows ear. My friend you can handle anything you set your mind to, do it. Maybe we should be talking to the Warden.. Gnewt
