It might be the difference of location and philosophy - I don't equate tough to just physical strength - but to the will to live or accomplish something deemed impossible. In my book anyone that survives such a condition is one tough hombre worthy of upmost respect..

Yes that might be, you sound absolutely rational. I don't get only physical strength either - just as you said.

However Islam teaches the will of Allah above the existence and the predestination of anything and everything. I must say that I was given a second chance and was left with the rest. Additionally, this does not conflict with my will to live. (I have to stop, 'cause I just started sounding like a boring mullah

)

P.S. Glad that your wife did not suffer SJS.

Oh the toxic shock was bad enough - it is almost as deadly as the SJS if its not discovered in time. She was lucky it was an extremely mild case.

But thanks for your sentiments.

Oh and no you don't sound like a boring mullah - you sound like a man who has had his faith in God confirmed. If it doesn't offend you - I just want to say - God bless you in your endeavors in life.

Can't remember the name of the condition - but I have snored so loud that I have caused my heart to stop - not once but three times over the last 15 years. (Ie that is the stupidity mentioned earlier because I have refused to go see a doctor about it until just recently.)
