well i see im in good company, i started coughing up blood last September, so i go to the dr and he ex-rays me and tells me i have cancer. wow !!! talk about a live changing experience. so a couple days later he has me come in and admits me for surgery the next day. they tell me they don't have any positive results but won't know for 10 days or so. so i come home and im soul searching and analyzing my life and facing reality. im walking around and telling everything goodby and thinking bucket list, wow, 53 yrs old and i have to come up with an instant bucket list, ok, well, I've been skydiving, climbed the rocky mountains, i have no desire to go 2.7 seconds on a bull named blue man chew. i bought a 40 acre ranch a few years ago and ever since day one i wanted/needed a tractor, the ranch got foreclosed on in the depression but i got to know one of my neighbors better and moved in with him, we have 113 acres, 8 we can grow on. so i figured ok, im gonna get me a couple old tractors and play with them and fix em up and hoe some rows and grow some stuff, or die trying. well, I've had 4 more surgery's and it turns out i don't have cancer, yay!!!. it's not like they didn't try, they were convinced i had it and were gonna prove it come hell or high water. on the 4th surgery they cut my throat and went down and took limp nodes and tested them, on the 5th they punctured two holes in my side to stick cameras in my lung. i've got to go in for another surgery and the doc says he's gonna put a stint in so air can get to my lower lung and hopefully it will un-collapse. i used to be soo active, folks would always ask me were i get all of my energy, now i walk up a small incline to the tractors and i have to sit down and take a break to catch my breath. i can't breath when i lay down, i can't sleep, i get 2hrs if im lucky, 4 if im really lucky, but most of the time i get 1hr so half the time i feel like a zombie. i want my life back, im a licensed building, electrical and solar contractor and i could be out making a good living.but instead im layed up at home with my ask in a sling. but it could be worse, at least i know i have many years to play with my toys, buy more and play mrs jolly rancher. im sorry to hear there are soo many more of you folks out there with your ask in a sling.
