Well said Al... And I for one don't listen to the doctors anymore! When they used to tell me that I probably have maybe 6 months to live, and yet I'm still here... How can they play God like that?The last doctor who told me I only have so much to live I responded with: "Really? Isn't that what you told me the last time and what was the result of it?" My doctor then described to me how unique I am and blah, blah, blah and I responded with: "BS! You're just saying that so you could CYA in case something does happen that can't be reversed!"
After that I left the doctor for the last time and found me another one who I interviewed first before I would let her take care of me, and she answered my questions favorably so I hired her... And ever since I have been under her care my cancer has gone back into remission and hopefully my lung problem will be resolved by the end of the month via surgery...
So yes - get your affairs in order and make sure your insurance is up to date as well as double checking your will, and anything else you haven't thought about for some time, and please don't take this the wrong way but, Doctors are not always correct in their prognosis of their patients! I should know because I'm living proof of that... Are you still living in NZ?
Jon, I will not count you out yet nor will I ever for that matter so stay strong my friend! And please keep posting okay? HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family Jon.
Respectfully,
Henry
