In 2018 I had finally collected my savings and bought new 4x4 van. I retired and we were ready to travel. I researched all and went full bore onto lithium batteries, solar, induction cooking, composting toilet, etc. etc.
Then I found out about afib, followed by loss of consciousness. Hybrid radio ablations with embedded heart monitor; a year later my heart stops for 16 seconds. I get a Pacemaker. Most recently my blood is lacking enough red and white blood cells; platelets are now too few. I have MDS. Was it agent orange? Something I smoked? NYC pollution?
What I do know is 1) That I don't live in the Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, or this week Malibu; 2) I have a buddy and 3) We're going to travel... a little bit at a time. I am very lucky to be here.
You have My best wishes and prayers for your continued choices in life.

Dannng, that is quite the hard fork in the road. Love the perspectives in 1-3...and also, damn you, vicissitudes of life!
Thanks for the kind words, Stuart. Best wishes to you as well!
