 It was my kidneys that failed. Overloaded when my whole body went into some kind of cell death. Its hard to remember, but several dialyses, maybe 6ish times - enough that they installed a two tubes in arteries to make dialysis easier. 

Air Force did it to me... My best guess is something in the food. I'll probably never know. But I went from a healthy and muscular dude who knocked out PT with enthusiasm to a shuffling skeleton... I was so weak I couldn't lift my shoe. And they basically put me in a prison for rehab for a year - it wasn't actually a prison, but it basically was. It made me hate everything. 

So... first that, then the vaccine. No more trust. I've been hurt more by these people than anyone I've ever met or heard of, and survived.

That got dark. Sorry. Muscle burn feels good, and also helps me not hate.
