Life can mess up the best plans we can make.
All we can do is build up a cushion when times are good.
The organ failure (ruptured colon / diverticulitis) was the biggest monkeywrench ever.
That being said, after recuperating and time to heal which took longer than planned due to my surgeon dying unexpectedly right before and his worthless partner making excuses every month, a near lifetime of misery and pain had ended. The reversal went as planned when I got a good surgeon after firing that other guy.
Some attacks literally were blinding in terms of agony.
