Not hiding, just not well in multiple ways, which has required two hospital stays and forced full retirement on me. Heart and kidneys are the knowns; thyroid has just been ruled out, and next month they are going to check my liver, deep joy.
Just no energy.

So Happy
To hear from you. Not so happy about the health news, but at least you're still with us. Don't go dark, please.
I'll echo that
I recall you saying that the health issues are stacking up, and they don't sound good.
I really hope that the tests turn up something that they can build a treatment plan around. I'm guessing that your fitness from all the cycling ( wasn't it the West Australian RFO and coast?) must have been some help to your body in fighting the problems.

Getting older
I feel your angst! As we survive the aging process, certain things happen! These things are rarely enjoyable -- see bladder failure, neurological issues, hard impacts with objects such as floors, brick hearths, roadways, etc. And then there are the rides in the back of the ambulance while strapped to a long board wearing a neck collar to immobilize your c-spine! X-rays are not bad and neither are CT scans nor ultrasounds! MRIs however are debilitating and horrendous (unless they do them while you are unconscious). However, as long as you/we can write about them, we are alive and moving forward! Keep on smiling!
