I've probably mentioned over the years that I am sort of a walking science experiment...no colon, bypass surgery...not a big deal, cuz it is me.

My wife has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She's been struggling with fibromyalgia for a decade or so already, and probably has some cumulative cognitive/expressive issues related to at least three concussions in her life.

Existence, survival...even the littlest things one used to take for granted...like grocery shopping or walking to the bathroom from the other side of the room...is harder now.
