What is the toughest thing in life you've ever experienced?
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.

You have like 8 to 10 in your body. Said I was losing it faster than they could put it in. Told my family it’s likely I wouldn’t make it through the night. I did and the next morning got a helium ride to another hospital to have my kidney removed. During a last second ultra sound they noticed one of the two lacerations had clotted. So they held off and it healed. Spent about 14 days in ICU. Had a button to push that would give me morphine. Which put me in a cycle of sleep, then waking up in extreme pain and hitting the button which made me go back to sleep. I kept having this recurring dream that I was in a car pulling out from a stop sigh and would get slammed in the drivers door by another car. Then I’d wake up in the hospital very confused from the morphine and in pain. Those dreams were one of the worst parts of it. 2018. Kayaking with a group on a challenging white water. At one of the three large crux rapids a younger paddler (19) flipped and swam from his boat. He became entrapped on logs that were jammed on rocks underwater in the rapid. We weren’t able to recover him in time. It took about 45 mins of extreme effort and complicated rope systems to retrieve his body. Those thoughts and sights will forever be burned in my mind and haunted me for a bit. Had something very similar happen on a different river while commercial rafting this past year. 17 girl fell out and got stuck on logs. Force of water was too much to pull her up. I watched her life fade in her eyes/ So I stomped incredibly hard and pushed her underneath the logs to which she popped out on the other side of the rock. ( I was very familiar with the spot and dynamics) Then were able to get her to the side and successfully give her CPR! She was only gone for 2 to 3 minutes. For your lack of sleep and ability to hold things down. Try Mary Jane if you can where you live. It helped me so much with those same issues when recovering from my kidney. It won’t cure pain, but it will help you manage it mentally. It also helps me sleep a lot by repressing dreams.
