Hi
indeed well enough thanks for asking. "Externalities" (as the exonomists would call them) are doing well, and my health right now is pretty good.
I wanted to really grapple with what you wrote, but could you please use some punctuation, because it makes reading hard without it. Some of those sentences were well over the 100 words long. It makes grasping the point hard (I pasted it out into an editor , reformatted it from a single monolith and then read it ... just to make sure I was doing it justice.
my view is that the best decisions come from careful consideration and perhaps even conversations. So its all good and a good sign to me.
I can see that, and there was plenty of times during the 4 months I had repeat debridement surrgeries and wound redressings with a VAC pac and a PICC pump attached to me all the time (them beeping at night and waking me up). So I can see why you'd be willing to take risks ... l mean its not just because you "can't stand the ticking"
as you identify ... its a high risk proposal ... however you've been trying at this for some years now already. So to me you've given it a pretty fair try.
To begin answering this I will say that in the year following the passing of my wife (which included all the infections and debridements and ****) I looked carefully many nights at my shotgun as the way out of my situation. As may be clear that I'm writing this here indicates I didn't pick that. So I understand what you may be feeling when the possibility of a good outcome from a sugery is better than that of the shotgun in my neck (Finns historically have preferred a neck shot).
Choosing a surgery (with its known possibilities and risks) is clearly a choice with possibility of an improved life (rather than just ceasing it) ...
no two ways about it, the risks of that being a tough recovery are almost a total certainty. I put forward that its possible that you'll exchange one set of issues with another, perhaps keep the bleeding but gain some more ... but at least there is a some chance that it will improve things.
As I see it with what I know ...
such would be a fiction anyway because there is nothing quantifiable here ... you know the risk is high, but hope is built on risk. If I may quote from a movie
"If we can make it to the ground, we'll take the next chance. And the next. On and on until we win... or the chances are spent."
it resonated with me when I heard it. It phrased into words part of how I live my life.
it always is and can only ever be. I get tired of the occasional person here who seems to feel it important to remind everyone of that ... as if we're kids whos bed he's sitting beside...
If you want to blabber more about this (just to get **** off your chest even) email (hotmail ... you know pellicle right?) me and I can call and talk / listen ... my plan gives me 300min / month to the USA (and I've got whatsapp as well)
Best Wishes
