A Toast to Life - I almost died last week

[Ken Ford]

Reading your first paragraph, I knew exactly what had happened. The question is, would I have recognized it if it were happening to myself?

Great news that you had a good outcome!

 

[Roger Hicks]

Dear Stephen,

Incense lit for you. Glad to hear of your recovery.

Cheers,

Roger

Yikes. Had some similar realizations after my mother died in January, it has been a blessing. All best to you!

Stephen,

So happy to hear you are well. It is upsetting that additional tests were not recommended.

My wife's friend went through a similar situation last year. Be sure to take it slow for a while and listen to your body; it took him a month or two before he was able to go full speed again.

Stephen,

Nicely dodged bullet Sir. Glad to hear you caught it in time. Hope you have a smooth recovery.

Best,

Stephen,

Glad to hear of the positive outcome. It makes one believe that someone is watching over you!

Carpe Diem!

More good luck to you Stephen.

Glad you're still with us! I hear peritonitis is overrated, pleased you sidestepped that. Be well soon please Stephen.
Cheers

Stay thirsty my friend. We need you.

Wow. A scary story, but, thankfully, with a happy ending.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Stephen,
Very glad to hear that you are on the mend and doing well.
That is a scary story. Yes, life is short and sweet. It is amazing how people can fight over such trivial things - enjoy life everyone!

Happy you're still with us.

You're a fortunate gent.

Congrats on cheating the grim reaper Stephen. 🙂

From what I believe and have been told men are notorious for ignoring these warning signs until often it can be too late. A friend who was a nurse is convinced that there are a lot of males underground who should probably have this inscription on their head stones:

"I WAS GOING TO SEE THE DOCTOR ... HONEST!" 🙂

Stephen,
You were very lucky. I'm glad you caught it in time. Please recover well.

 

[Emile de Leon]

That was close..wasn't your time..

 

[xayraa33]

We are so glad you caught it in time, Stephen.

All the best to you!

Thank you, Stephen. Certainly an experience worth sharing and a valuable reminder to all of us. I'm glad you are well.

Good that you are okay.
I think we all get to some event that makes us truly appreciate every day.
