jeez. these things are obviously shit at the time but at least it makes you put things in perspective and concentrate on what is important.
i had a scare the other week when i found a lump on my testicle. the first thing i did after calling the doc was to book a 5 week holiday to africa. fuck the job, i thought, life is too short.
thankfully after ultrasound tests (which was kind of weird - one really hot nurse and two female doctors rubbing lubricating gel onto my testicles and having a rub around for five minutes) it was confirmed as an epididymal cyst, which can be left alone.
life can be a right cunt but at least you'll come out the other side more resilient if nothing else.
I think it's because we go through life not thinking about these things until they actually do happen, sometimes we even take a lot for granted. Something similar happened to me a few years back and it really does put the fear into you.
