Little turtle, I can relate. My husband, L, has been a physical wreck practically since birth. Bleeding ulcers at the age of 12, etc, etc. He also had open heart surgery a few years ago for mitral valve regurgitation + 2 bypasses, and treatment for prostate cancer that worked for 10 years and now is no longer working, as his PSA is going back up again. UGH.

Sometimes we sit in bed in the morning and marvel that we're still here. Both of us feel that whoever came up with this thing called life was one humdinger of a sadist.

All we know is, we sure as h--ll didn't design it for ourselves.

Hang in there, turtle.... A lot of people love you.
