I hope I am done. I’m not trying to keep up or even come close to uncle Phil procedures. But like him, I hope to be around to share many more campfire with all of you.
I wouldn't want anybody to go through the stuff I've been through!
But funny you should mention that as I just had a bit of 'news' a couple of weeks ago -
It appeared that I had a major aneurysm in the ascending aorta to my heart - that's a 'crack you open like a watermelon and fix it' repair.
As it thankfully turned out on further investigation (two weeks later), I just have an unusually larger aorta and larger heart compared to 'normal'.
After a closer look via an MRI everything seems to be fine (other than a known leaking valve).
But it was sure messing up my riding plans for a while and I'm still not supposed to pick up anything over 50 pounds ...
It is health events like these that you realize how slender the thread is that our lives are hanging from.
