I'm very relieved that she is now out of the danger zone....and so are you and your daughter too, I imagine.

What the future will bring is unknown. There is a chance that yet life will change a bit for her (and you).

I'm glad that you use this forum as an audience for expressing public your uneasy mind and the following relief.
This thread is called "Getting Old" and these events are exactly what getting old finally means.

On this forum we all like catsailing and that is basically sort of adrenaline sport with sturdy behaviour and tall stories.
But,inevitable, we all get older (I hope) and meet irrevocable health problems. With ourselves, with partners and family.

So, its a good thing that you wrote these posts Rick. You are really the Chief.
