Reading this was like being handed a stopwatch counting down in my periphery. That line about how 'the clock isn't the enemy—forgetting to hear its tick is'? I'll be carrying that weight for weeks. Writing that doesn't just describe the fire, but makes you feel its heat.

Thanks for sharing. All the best for your recovery … the brief window we have, coupled with the chances of even being here in the first place .. should make every single one of us chase our dreams like a crazed dog chases a stick (which is lodged in the exhaust of a car) ..

Great attitude, great read. Don! It certainly appears that you are fighting the good fight and with the advances of modern medicine I somehow know that you will win at all odds. Hey, you've got some riding to do, things to see and explore. And don't forget to let us know when the book is ready. Best wishes.
