(45,558 posts)my ordeal was made lighter with DU by my side.
Literally.
That hospital table that serves a lot of different task. For me, well having the computer right there so I was always connected to DU made those hospital stays bearable.
The operation I will have, a Lung Transplant, is not like all the others. More than half don't make it five years. So I know how that special tightening of the gut and the cold shudder running up your spine when they deliver such news.
We all think we will live forever even though we know it's waiting out their in some future time. The difference you and I have is we know the limits that medical science can do for us.
Take care, make that bucket list and embrace everything about yourself that you can.
Peace be with you.
