We've all been following your story and rooting for you for a long time. Stories like your's brings me back to my similar (well, sort of) story. When I was 20, I was in a bad car wreck in the middle of nowhere. It took 8 hours to get to the hospital. A couple days after surgery the doctor said he never saw anyone with my injuries still living. And that's if they got to the hospital right away.

The point of this is, I willed myself to stay alive. I knew that if I closed my eyes for more than a second they would never open again. It wasn't easy, as the accident happened at 11:00 PM! I only had to will myself to live for 8 hours. You've been doing it for years. Keep it up! I know you will. I'm in my 41st bonus year now and never take a day for granted. I hope you have many bonus decades to come.
