That is really, really horrible. After living a long life I've come to realize that there is nothing extraordinary about being ill. It is another state of being. Our time will come, and then we must learn to deal with it. For the rest of us, those of us who are not ill, stop and take care. I think that's life.
As for the steroids...I take them daily. I hate taking them, a small dose, but without them I cannot function. This I have come to accept. It's humbling. I can't control everything. Sometimes I have to bend to circumstance.
I am so happy you got over this terrible episode. I guess symbolically you can look at your new skin as a new beginning.
Very well said, even after doing everything right, we cannot guarantee that there will be no suffering, because they are results of our previous births or so called destiny. That's the reason, many people here choose the divine path, giving up every desire and still being super happy, because the inner peace can only be attained with divine touch and tolerating all the sufferings with pleasure. Pujya Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Maharaj Ji (https://www.youtube.com/@BhajanMarg) has been my greatest inspiration - a man surviving for more than two decades even after both kidney damaged.
We have to let it go anyway, eventually. Accepting that is a path toward peace.
I'm glad you are better :)
