I've been fine for 5 years now, but i still let fear get the best of me when it comes to situations where i know I'll be under high pressure. What I would like to ask is if there is any risk at of it reoccurring if i were to ride some roller coasters?
I have had surgery on one side, I'm more afraid of the one that i didn't. But like i said I've been fine for 5 years. Working out, and running, playing hockey and soccer and keeping active and I've been ok. I don't want fear to ruin my chance of still living life and i figure if i can get it while just sleeping on my couch then why not just go out and have fun? Opinions and suggestions welcomed.
