Those tests are fucking scary. But I've eaten a lot of psychedelics, which I think confers a circumspect view on mortality. And like I said, I don't desire or plan to leave anytime soon, but I've been pretty lucky (we all have if one considers our odds of being in such nice lives vs the other billions of people on the planet), so I think it'd be extremely poor taste to complain.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't complain. But it'd be bad form.

Very sorry to hear this. Wishing you strength and good humor.
We are all very lucky and, even when wrestling with the dude with the sickle, it's good to remember how lucky we are. And to take advantage of our luck by getting medical care available to far too few.
