I don’t usually announce blog breaks, especially since my posts are way more sporadic than they were “back in the day.” This break might be a while. I can barely write, and I’m not reading, either.
My best friend of nearly 50 years is losing her 44yo son to Huntington’s disease. Things are progressing quickly — even since we spoke yesterday. I just received a GoFundMe update stating that he’s receiving end-of-life hospice care. I’m pretty sure that means that he’s been sedated as his movements were so wild & uncontrollable, it was feared that he’d seriously injure himself.
What is to be done with a stupid disease like that? His grandfather, aunts, an uncle, and has dad all either had or have it to some degree. His progression has been incredibly, mind-numbingly fast. Hopefully, recent advancements in the treatment of Huntington’s will continue.
Anyway, I’m going to be scarce, as they say, and I don’t know for how long.
