As the days and years go by, I have come to the conclusion that I am just a mere mortal. Am I going to do anything or write anything that leaves a lasting impression on this world? I kind of doubt it.
I have had a good life experience. I was raised by loving parents and did not have to suffer any hardships and tragedies in my growing up years. I was able to work and provide for the two sons I fathered. I served my country with time in the army. Marriage and family life have entered my life twice. I am still experiencing my second marital journey. Over eighteen years of retirement life and I sense more years of this journey on this earth.
Over a year ago I survived a medical near-death experience. During the recuperation period I thought that there must have been a reason for surviving. It has been over a year now and I am still searching for the reason. I am beginning to think the only reason I survived was to experience and learn from that near death encounter.
With that said, I am just a mere mortal and will do what mere mortals do and that is to attempt to live a good life.

Near death can wake a person up, but for me, it just enraged me. It took a lot of years to come to terms with the medical institutions which sedated me and stripped me of my rights in the name of mental healthcare.

I had a massive blood clot between my lungs. They gave me 3 options. 1st, try to remove it with medication. 2nd, go under anesthesia. and go through the groin area and attempt to remove the clot. 3rd, do the same procedure but have the patient stay awake. I elected on the third. After the procedure the doctor was talking to me and said, “Tom I think we made the right decision. if you went under Anesthesia, I am afraid I would have lost you.” https://tomt2.com/2023/08/10/my-blood-clot/
