Laz lost his first child to SIDS and it still affects him 31 years later, especially around the birthday in September, Christmas, and oddly enough, today - Trevor died today. He's off doing busy house work now, trying not to think too much of small children today.
At 30, at 40 - one still feels somewhat immortal. And there's just too much that has to be done. Seeing a doctor regularly is something children, the disabled, or old folks do. Not people raising families and working..
But we should all see at least a GP every year, and be honest about things like numbness, forgetfulness, shortness of breath, aches and pains in the torso and head areas, gastric distress; all these things are symptoms of potential major issues developing, even if we aren't already diagnosed with some sort of co-morbidity issue.
Again, Laz and I are so sorry you are going through this.
