Hi y'all I'm 35.
What is the toughest thing in your life that you've ever had to deal with? Why was it so hard? And did any thing good or bad come from it?
I've had a fairly easy life save for being born with a messed up Mitral Valve.
They recently went in and repaired it. Until now I've never had a Mitral Valve that worked properly. For so long I was lethargic, easily fatigued, and always felt out of breath from the most simple of tasks. I use to get super cold easily as well. Since the open heart surgery many of these issues are gone but while I'm recovering the road has been filled with thorns.
I played Lightfall once before Surgery and once after I was finally released after a week in the hospital. The incision site is along the middle of my sternum and some times it feels weird. My primary symptoms post surgery include nausea and vomiting, but in my case the vomiting is the most painful thing I've ever experienced in my entire life. Not only does it put pressure on my incision site but it also has wrecked my health. I can barely keep simple things like soup, water, and apple sauce down and my stomach is always in constant pain. I've lost sleep and lost 25lbs since before surgery.
I am some what sleep deprived and extremely thirsty. I can keep tea and water down but when I tried Gatorade it came up within minutes.
I have been distracting myself by focusing on Iron Banner but soon it will be over and I will be left alone with the madness of my pain.
This current experience is the worse thing I've ever experienced and I would not wish this on my worse enemy.
Playing Lightfall after surgery felt like motion sickness and over stimulation, it was not pleasant getting my Titan through the story but I did it in honor of Lance and I intend to try to play my Titan more often in honor of his memory.
This has been Dr. Azoth Who sending you her best. May peace and love follow you all the days of your lives, may you dwell in the house of the gods forever.
Goodnight. I pray I sleep soon.

The most physically difficult things were from 24-30. At 11 I was circumcised but it really didn’t take any effort on my part, but it’s still the most painful thing I’ve experienced. 18-24 my family was stealing my money and threatening me daily because I had a girlfriend they didn’t approve of. (Hard to deal with because I wasn’t financially capable of supporting myself and I grew up so isolated I didn’t know how to do anything, it’s some strange abuse that I went through) 24 I made my escape but I had to take a drastic turn that was previously told to me “impossible” but I joined the Marines. That was a challenge. I served my contract got my feet under me and am now free in the world.
