Every test I takes has FAILED stamped on it.
 
Good news on the non-exploding heart thing Beeps.
 
In related news, we're gonna have to continue to put up with Beepster indefinitely.

Great news!!!
 
Unless what you have makes your heart cause other stuff to explode

Well therein lies the rub. If it turns out to be this NEW thing then there is the same potential for things to explode... but not really REALLY important things like the other thing does. So it would be bad... but not like "need to be on an operating table within twenty minutes" bad.
 
If it turns out to be the VERY specific version of THAT thing then it sounds like it's limited to mostly skeletal and less critical connective tissue... which explains the chronic pain.
 
Pain... well it sucks but I'm used to it and set up to deal with it.
 
The randomly dying thing... well I guess I was prepared for that too after all this time but seriously I was not cool with it... yet.
 
I cannot leave a good looking corpse.

You guys that deal with chronic pain are really special people, amazing how you can do it and still make music!
 
Being cool with dying, well I've got that one down, on a bright side it does makes for some great lyrics!

Apparently if I have the NEW thing they think I have then apparently there have only been 60 reported/diagnosable cases of it EVER... like in the WORLD! I can't really blame them TOO much for not getting that one right the first go 'round (lol) but I know what you mean.
 
Where's Hugh Laurie when you need him?!
 
The morbidity factor of the previous insinuations though were a total mindtwister so I'm just letting it all sink in a bit.
 
Alright... I'm being a bit of an overshare bear. Just wanted to warn people I'm feeling silly.

With something that rare, it's too bad you can't sell it on eBay.

Ya, and then knockoffs start appearing for half the price.

Each dawn is a gift, and even more so, each daybreak is a fresh experience.
 
May your dawns cease not, and the shall not the sun set for you no nevermore.

Good news on the heart, and hey, if you really do have something soopa-rare then maybe you can earn some $$$'s allowing yourself to be prodded by rooms of chin-scratching boffins with clipboards? 
 
My uncle had his first heart attack in his 30's and eventually died of one in his 50's. My granddad died of a heart attack too. So I've always been worried about having inherited the potential for heart problems. Having said that, my dad is in his 70's and has never had heart issues, and mine seems to tick along quite happily at around 55bpm.
