Re: The Lost Journals - Comments
I've returned after what feels like a lifetime and a series of unfortunate events. Like losing everything on my computer aside from some critical records I hadn't backed up since 2010 because of my own inept attempts at diagnosing an SSD gone bad. Quitting my career in IT to shift over to lab work. And the rather (physically) painful process of accepting that I am now middle aged. Amazing what change in as little as a year.

As I entered my 40s I took an interest in my health, lost 22kg, and normalized all my bloodwork. Middle aged sucks, to be sure, but you can reverse some of the damage.High Priest Mikhal wrote:I've returned after what feels like a lifetime and a series of unfortunate events.

Unless there's a process to replace potentially-cancerous cells with healthy ones, there isn't much I can do to reverse the damage I'm facing. My doctors are amazed I lived this long given my medical history, and I've made peace with the fact my remaining life is measured in years at best, rather than decades. Whatever happens will happen.

Thanks for the replies, folks. Like I said, I've made peace with reality and I'll leave this mortal coil with no regrets...so long as my cat lives out his natural lifespan first. Some people have spouses and/or kids, I have a feline friend.

They're very warm and intriguing companions to have, especially if you get along well.
I offer you my respect, for your dignity and courage.
