"Grit is living life like a marathon, not a sprint."
This is the surgery that I said "No" to.
I hadn't been speaking for months. I had a stroke the previous year. I hadn't spoken or given any reaction to medical professionals. So, when they started talking about this surgery, I blurted out "No!"

It must have been really loud and clear. I think the doctor and Physical Therapist were shocked. This was a simple surgery that usually isn't denied. I was thinking about the future. That surgery would be a pain in the butt.
There wasn't supposed to be a tomorrow. I was supposed to die 16/17 years ago. I was holding on, though. This was for my immediate care. The medical personell at that time did not know that I would hold on for one more year.
15 years ago I had experimental surgery. If I made it there would be a future. I made it.
Now it is looked back and it was a good thing I said no to that surgery.
