Katkeeper goes in for surgery May 7. It's like... there's about a 10% chance she dies or has a stroke during surgery... but about a 10% chance she dies of the aneurysm, every year it isn't fixed.

We all live and die with similar odds every day, but they are rarely shown to us, and we rarely have the ability to play the odds. For example, John Ritter RIP never knew he was playing odds until he died, because he was never diagnosed with what killed him.

Really interesting perspective and good odds.
