How scary indeed. I'm glad that you know distance running, its pain and pressure upon the system that keeps us alive, as such discipline teaches us pain management. Like climbing mountains, one step and handhold at a time, running through pain or even more challenging, living through the trauma of working with the unexpected life crisis moments brought on by our health can be so exhausting. I know you shared recent updates following your procedures and its challenges. As much as I learned as a distance runner in learning how to persevere, I've also learned late in life - my regret - how to let go and let a higher power/my God know that they are in control. You and your family are in my prayers.
