I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you!! It’s the hardest thing for a man to admit he needs help. I know the worries are more destructive to my health and I have to drop them.

You are correct. All your worry won't make anything better.
Lots of folks have survived the same things you are dealing with. I would guess the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor. Ask your doc that same question.
Also, ask your doc what HE would do if he was the patient. I find this often gets a response that is more well thought out than what you may be hearing.
Meet this head on and know that this has been dealt with successfully before by a lot of people.
You've got this !!i
Tomorrow may not be any better but I promise you that SOME tomorrow will be. I sincerely appreciate your wisdom,,, this is the second time that I can remember when you have replied to a post that I’ve made. That really helps A million thank yous

I'm glad if any of us can help someone deal with a difficulty. Heck I've been shot twice, had cancer twice, broken bones, collapsed lung and I even flew over camp Le Jeune once.......  But I also know how lucky I have been because so many others have dealt with things that are so much worse than I have. I know you can do this.

Ok guys,, in front of thousands of people I’m going to admit this,, it’s tough, and I know its probably not very manly I’m scared,, totally mortified and anxiety is nonstop,, I cannot shut down. I had to much dumped on me all at once and having difficulty processing it. I was recently diagnosed with severe cervical stenosis,, which more than likely is going to require fusion surgery,, during one of the tests I had,, x ray,, showed I had a calcification in my carotid artery and that I have carotid artery disease,, it didn’t say how bad. I have an ultrasound scheduled for today in about 3 hours. I don’t know how bad it is. At first I was scared about how I was going to pay for this,, I have no job at the moment, no assets so o know that they will write all that off,, and I know,, that today,, with all the medical advancements,, my stenosis is treatable and that carotid artery disease isn’t a bonafide death sentence and that I could very well live for a long time if I start taking care of myself… so why can’t I shake this? I’m downright terrified,, and I can’t feel god right now,, I’m asking for him to comfort me,,, and I’m trying to give it all to him,,, I need my trapperman family to please pray for me,, ask god to wrap his arms around me,,,, The very first thing I recommend doing is applying for medicaid, and just being upfront with the hospital that you have no current way to pay, but that you are trying to enroll in medicaid and other low income health programs. Basically you are going to work AFTER you are fixed, but look man. No matter what what happens though, just understand that this is God telling you that you have serious changes to make in your life if you want to continue enjoying this beautiful gift. Some people are never given the chance to know that they have x disease, or x problem, until they keel over on the couch. To me this is great news that you were able to find out when you did, instead of when it was too late. We want to see more of what Illinois has to offer trapping wise, so we need you to get better, so you can get back at it. We are all with you man, do not fear, the steps you must take are clear, and at the end of the day if everything goes bad, atleast you had a chance where many have not.

Are you aware you maybe entitled to compensation if you flew over the camp?????
Being old is when you don't care where your spouse goes, just a long as you don't have to go too.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
May I suggest, if at all possible, participate in some volunteer work or service work for those less fortunate than you - homeless shelter, children's hospital, soup kitchens, write letters, make blankets, etc.. For myself, this clears my mind & fills my soul.

foxkidd44,
Anxiety is often grounded in woulda, coulda, shoulda's and the endless mental gymnastics which occupy the endless possibilities we now have as a nation. Endless possibilities are oftentimes wondrous blessings yet we miss them as we woulda, coulda, shoulda ourselves into a corner.
My well wishes are a nice touch but the One who deals in difficult or even impossible odds is the God who knew you before you even were (Psalm 139).
When we seek His Face upon us, a stance of palms up is appropriate, which means opening the eyes of our hearts (Ephesians 1).
Read His Word.
Pray to God. Don't hold back. God is big enough to take whatever you want Him to hear.
And please know that suffering is one of the ways we're brought closer to our Creator.
Oh and being vulnerable is actually the opposite of being weak. It is called meek and it has a place already reserved in heaven.
Blessings!
Mark

For myself, this clears my mind & fills my soul. This^^^^. I will add, the one and true heavenly Father is always there. To be put in the land of wonderment is a rough row to hoe. Lean on him and you'll be fine. Best to ya ole boy.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
