Truer words were never spoken!.. Seems like sometimes we are just along for the ride and have zero control of this roller coaster we are all on...

@joefriday49 Yes, it is so true. Recently, a friend's husband had some labwork just before a new treatment. It showed his kidneys had gone into acute kidney failure. He was showing no outward signs! If they hadn't done the labwork that day, he probably wouldn't have survived. He has fortunately mostly recovered now, after emergency dialysis and other lifesaving treatments.

Roller coaster is a good description.
