Hi Alex, I'm a man of few words when it comes to typing
but reading your voluminous writing makes up for my puny
efforts.
A friend of mine passed away late last year after going through
a similar situation as you.
After so many operations and no end in sight as to them stopping
any time soon,he decided enough was enough, so went down the
"let nature take it's course" route and passed away pretty quickly
after that decision.
That you have chosen to fight on, and take us all on your
journey is admirable and thought provoking.
Thankyou.
I have not long ago turned 80 and the only real ailment
is a bad back, I consider myself fairly lucky.
My bad back fades into insignificance as to what you're
going through.
I think of you often, and come on here and catch up
with your posts.
All the best my friend, keep on keeping on.
Cheers
Ron
