I myself am not doing anything disrespectful or anything else etc like that about the? But I myself have had a few times that I have had during life with illnesses and have found out I found one I think is worst than my condition, I have to say it was a kidney stone I had and passed, I had another but got medical treatment and a med to dissolve it, what do you think bout the question here

Oh boy! I've never known of those or anyone with them. I guess everyone faces something along the way. We are blessed there are treatments for our conditions that work pretty good once the dosage get worked out.

I agree! I believe we are given what we can handle! Dealt w/ Cancer twice, had gallbladder removed, sleep apnea a few years, asthma, 2 brain surgeries, VNS, machine similar to VNS but for bladder! Plus multiple broken bones.

I need a checklist on my conditions. Let's see. It started in the brain and I've had a surgery for that. Then it was cataracts and I had surgery for both eyes. After that I was being scheduled for a surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm but it had to wait a couple months because they said I needed a quintuple bypass first. My wife wanted me to see a dermatologist to check out a spot on my wrist area which turned out to be skin cancer so we have a third surgery in a seven-month span. Now I just had the first of two hip replacements. Since it looks like I'm on a head-to-toe operation schedule, I'd better take good care of my knees and feet. 😜

Never had anything too serious. Epilepsy is probably the worst so it’s a tough question to answer. I know at my age anything can be right around the corner. I have had bad things happen to good friends and family, makes you reflect.

One medical condition was the being hit by a car! Having that happen made me happy to be epileptic!!! I say that because if didn't come down with Epilepsy needing brain surgery. I'd be comatose for life from the results of being hit be by car putting me in coma with ɓleeding of brain!
