What would you rather have with regard to health vs wealth and I think the most of us would choose health. The way I see it is your health is your wealth and only people who are healthy would vouch for wealth over health until that all changes.
Over the last two weeks I have been travelling abroad and after the first 11 hour flight my left ankle doubled in size. This was not the best of starts because I have had blood clot issues in the past. Issues may be a understatement as I had survived what they call the widow maker about 7 years ago when a blood clot hit my lung. I got lucky and it changed my life giving me a second chance and possibly is the reason why I think and act like I do.
The hope was the ankle would get back to normal and it was a nothing burger, but wearing shoes and not flip flops for the next 2 weeks only made it worse. I take a disprin daily to keep the blood this and this made no impact so the fears were always in the back of my head. The reality was I was back in the danger zone and needed to get back home to fix this problem that had escalated so quickly. The last time I flew to Europe I was self injecting a medicine called Klexane directly into my stomach which guarantees no clotting. Maybe I should have done this again, but that is now in hindsight.
Back On The Tablets
We have been back 4 days now and for the first time in 3 weeks I ca see the shape of my foot and the swelling thankfully has disappeared. I have made contact with my vascular specialist and he has placed me on a medication that removes any blood clots immediately. I will have a scan on Monday and will be visiting him shortly afterwards.
The health vs wealth argument is not even a close contest in my view as without health what is the wealth really worth? I expect what I have is probably nothing or whatever caused the swelling can be fixed or it could be damage from the previous blood clots 7 years ago. This can all be fixed and will be rectified before I climb on a plane again in October.
Over the next few years the plan has always been to make it big via crypto ad the businesses that have been set up but this all comes to nothing and is kind of meaningless if you drop down dead tomorrow. No one can foresee the future and why we must make the most of today by not being stupid and taking care of our health the best we can.
