I understand that this is not totally on topic here; however, I do feel the need to express myself among friends.
The Marfan Syndrome which has caused my incontinence has attacked my heart. My surgeon told me that I was not a candidate for the cardiac surgery which I had hoped would be a silver bullet. He said that I would not survive that surgery, and would risk dying on the table. So, there is not much else that can be done. Although I'm not yet a hospice patient, my doctors are giving me palliative care rather than trying to treat or cure the situation. I can feel myself getting weaker by the day, and wonder just how many days are left for me.
I shall contribute as much as I can, for as long as I can. Here I feel that I am among friends, as nowhere else, and am grateful to all of you.
