Wow! Well at least you can say you are published even if it is in a medical book! That’s more than most people can say!
You are so right about doctors! They know if we were healed they would not have that steady stream of income from just treating people and prescribing drugs. I know that sounds cynical but after years and years it’s hard not to get a little jaded about it all. That’s ok though. I take what I have to and just keep on going!
I am fully aware that there are so many people way worse off than me and many that never made it to my age so I may grumble a bit about it but I’m very happy I am still around to get older.
Yes, my friend and I decided a few years ago that if we wanted to go places and have new experiences we better get started while we still could and we love it!

I love your enthusiasm about life, "take what I have to and just keep on going". Having the ability to turn the negative into a positive, is challenging at times, but you have seemed to master it! I have traveled 98% by myself (introvert) but my husband came with me at times when he could (traveling when you are dying can get tricky). So after his death, cremated in a biscotti jar (he liked cookies), I put him in a wee vegan gel cap, and sprinkled a bit him everywhere to continue his travels. Like in the pool in front of the Taj Mahaul, in the Alamo, on Samuri Warrior 47 grave site (born in '47) in Koyason Japan royal cemetary, when I spent a few nights with Bhuddist monks in their temple on top of a mountian. He's going on another trip soon, and some of my service dogs ashes will accompany him. Baklava is in a basset hound cookie jar next to him.
Btw, I did publish a wee children's book/illustrated it, on a local endangered species, I'm sure not half as exciting as extra vertibras on an xray.
