Maybe. My ex is a Type 1 diabetic diagnosed at 12, survived breast cancer, had open heart surgery, took a bad fall resulting in frontal lobe damage, and several other less serious problems. She's still kicking, albeit rather slowly. Oh, yeah she was one of the lucky winners of Guillain-Barre syndrome from the 1976 swine flu fiasco which left her skeptical of vaccines so she passed on the covid shot and later tested positive with a four day headache from hell but no other ill effects. Very high maintenance. We do often muse how we've lived so long.
