My compliments to you on you outstanding dillengence. Just goes to show that body part malfunctions and eliminations does not leave us in a box waiting for someone else to carry our load.
I survived a case of Bulbar Poliomyletis in 1956 and went on to complete a military career in the Army (26 years). This career included a combat tour in Vietnam and an invasion of Cambodia. Later, I survived Malignant Melanoma and quadrouple Cardiac Bypass Surgery. When the human puts fort the energy and will, success in on the horizon.
Keep the faith and keep on flying; airplanes and corvettes.

Good Job
My hat is off to you. Great job sticking in there. I medically retired from flying (C-130 Navigator), in 2001 and it was the hardest time of my life after 22 years I was a little lost. Still am I guess but I am trying to get back into air traffic control. I salute you for your guts and fortitude.
