Never know what is next

[B-O-B]

I had an extreme wakeup call on Oct 4th. I came in from working on the car Delete repeated word getting, it ready to head south, when I told Peggy that I wasn't feeling up to par. Within minutes I went into a severe pain in my stomach area & went into shock. Peggy dialed 911 & the ambulance crew took me to the hospital. They took a CS & determined that I had a dead bowel, read dying here, So they loaded me in the ambulance again & transported me to Boise. The Dr. spent about an hour on me & had all my bowels out but could find nothing wrong. He stitched me up with 30 staples & I spent the week in the hospital. Never did find the cause of the severe pain. While their I had a lot of time to reflect on my life & determined that the things I thought were so important to me were not all that important at all. My wife ,family & friends come first & of course my health. The rest is just icing on the cake.
Peggy & I have traveled on 85,000 miles across this country & border to border & Canada in the 32 roadster meeting many good friends along the way. We have had a wonderful life hunting, fishing & touring in our classic cars. In Dec we will celebrate being married 45 years.
My advice to all here is get your ducks in a row as is always said, YOU never know what tomorrow will bring". Get your bucket list in order & work on checking the things off that are near & dear to you.
I'm 83 & the Doc said I'm in really good health & can expect at least another 3 years barring an accident.
SO boys & girls step back take a good look in the mirror get your priority's in order & "GIT er DUN".
