Wow. What a crazy hard experience you went through as well. I’m sorry to hear it, and so glad you’re on the other side.

Sometimes just taking the next step and living the next day (let alone hours or minutes) is all we can do.

Hey Craig! i’m super slow in responding, but I’m sure you can understand 🙂

I had an intestinal volvulus, emergency corrective surgery, and then a handful of doctor-stumping complications.

Your experience sounds similar to mine in many ways. I think my wife and I are both a little traumatized by the whole experience. And a bit paranoid about possible reoccurrence.

Thanks for sharing. It’s good to know you get where I’ve been 🙂

About 6 months ago, in a span of 2-3 weeks, I had back surgery followed by a nasty infection that left me immobile for weeks, I got let go from my dream job, and my girlfriend dumped me.

I don’t know how I kept going, but I find myself on my feet and marching forward.

It’s always nice to hear how others have battled back from less than ideal situations. Way to go!

Thanks so much Katie. I often find visual representations of my internal process to be super helpful. I’m glad that one landed with you 🙂

Thanks Cathe!

Thanks Jill! 🙂

Although I’ve encountered some big events that have similarly “knocked the wind out of my sails” what seems to get me the most is the day-by-day stuff that takes too many moments right from under me. I’ll be writing your words some place that my eyes will see often. Love learning from your experience and wisdom Dan. Keep it coming and congrats on the little guy.
