Apparently I’m dying. First let me explain what if you have the patience. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis in the worst way at only age 38, along with Muscular Dystrophy. Point is I have been doing just as AS says in the most aggressive cases like my mine, Vascular Disease would be what brings me down. I’ve literally been leaking blood like an oil change out of my mid to lower leg’s below the knee. I’ve battled the 17 out of this disease and although I’m only 38 going on 39 I’m sick of having the largest spinal surgery ever done at Vandy. Now I’ve had a full breakdown of that surgery nevermind the one before that. Of course I’ll keep pushing forward and try to live through the next surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Another 14-16 hour minimum full 20 plus level annular fusion from complete breakdown of my spine already. I’m sorry to complain I just got some pretty devastating news today. You guys have no idea how hard I’ve debated putting this on here. Sorry if it bothers you guys. I absolutely had to get it out.
May God bless you for your next surgery and praying that it’s successful. Thank you for sharing

We've had words on here before.

Fight.
Laugh whenever you can.
Get back home.

I vow to bring the cigars and bourbon of your choice, and we'll argue in person. Then we will laugh like hell at the craziness of life.

When I was fighting cancer, I had this hanging on the wall... "Your illness does not define you, your strength and courage does." Good luck and God bless.

Prayers and best of luck. Sorry to hear this. Try to always do whatever brings you and those around you joy and happiness
Yeah, that’s another problem—trying to keep my fiancée of 15 years calm. She’s having a hard time imagining life without me. We have a special relationship, and if you think the word ‘soulmate’ is corny or not real, then you haven’t met us. It destroys me knowing that I have diseases that will likely take me sooner rather than later, but I can’t seem to find the right words to convey what my doctors have told me.
