This matched my experience . I ended up switching government to fix it . <| sep |> I ' m so sorry to hear that . I think if they do go through with the story , you are right . It ' s not pretty and easy . Even without complications it sucks , and with her being as large as she is , in real life , the risk of complication would be very high . No one talks much about surgery and I feel like what is heard is the people that jaunt off to Mexico for lap band and come back happy and tan . <| sep |> You ' re not 3 years off , you ' re 2025 years off . The last Apollo mission was in 1972 , and then Skylab , the US ' s first space station , ended in 1979 . <| sep |> This was on my way up Mt Goode in California via Bishop Pass . And I think you ' re right , I ' ll be the first to admit that I really wasn ' t having much fun when I was out there doing this . You spend hours exhausting your muscles , totally wearing yourself out , barely able to breathe in the thin air , just destroying yourself climbing , and no matter how miserable it gets , you have to keep pushing forward . But you do it . You succeed in doing something many people haven ' t done . You make it back home , take your first shower in ages , lie down in a real bed for once , think back on what you accomplished . and that ' s when you think you know . that was really fun .
