Sorry to hear how bad it got, glad to know things worked out better than they could have with how serious it was!
Health checks should always be done at times, to be safe in case you got things needing to be treated. What an ordeal for you mate but keep being strong and looking at your future and going the best you can go!
I have to go to the doctors soon, I am hoping all is good but as I get older and now have 2 kids of my own, I want to ensure I live a long life and make changes myself.
Thank you for sharing!
