I don’t think I have ever smiled so much reading about how someone repeatedly almost dies.

Lines like “microscopic tongue grippers to render it completely unswallowable.”

And “Although, if you don't mind my saying so, there are much more congenial ways of becoming a celebrity than by having an exotic medical condition. If you simply must be a celebrity of some kind, I strongly recommend you consider Instagram or YouTube.”

Make me think you could moonlight as a standup comedian.

Cheers to your wife! She is a catch!

Keep writing!! Your view is valuable

Thanks for this kind feedback. Honestly, I hate to write about myself. So the only way I could bring myself to tell this story was by leavening it with a lot of self mockery. Something about laughing at yourself that just makes suffering more endurable too. So there's that. And you're right - my wife is a catch. Cheers!
