You are right about life throwing you a curve ball even if you do everything right. Back in December, I took my wife to the emergency room with the symptoms of a heart attack. The doctors did the standard tests expecting to find coronary artery disease. To their surprise, her arteries were clear with no sign of disease, yet she was in severe heart failure. After further testing, they found a congenital heart valve defect which went undetected for 56 years. After heart valve replacement surgery, and surviving several severe complications, I am happy to report that she is well on the road to recovery. Thank God we had good insurance - otherwise we would have been financially ruined.
