Good grief Peter. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and back to rude health as quickly as possible.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost two years ago and various dear friends have suffered heart attacks, strokes, lukemia, spinal problems and more. All I can say to all those like me in their second childhood is to take any symptoms extremely seriously and do not just ignore them hoping they'll just go away - your life and your dependents deserve more than that.
