I n the course of time, I lived through an incredible experience. It began around the time my wife and I renewed our wedding vows. It was from that point forward my health began to decline. I went through the loss of appetite and energy, until I was left to nothing at all. It was from there that I went into the hospital. I traveled from hospital to hospital until I ended up in North Carolina. Over an 8-week period of time, after tests, IVs, blood transfusions and other medical treatment. I was discharged from the hospital feeling like a new person.
