Please excuse me if I am not as responsive or quick with updates over the next coupls days or the rest of the week.
My uncle just passed away today from a very sudden (and admittedly suspicious) onset of ALS. He was fine until only perhaps about 2 months ago. But right after recieving a certain unrelated medical treatment, his health rapidly began to deteriorate. They gave him 5 months.... he didn't even get 1 after his diagnosis.
I am so.... So angry. And sad. Maybe it was all just coincidence, but I have trouble believing it. But as I don't like to bring politics or controversial opinions into this place, I will leave it at that. But please understand I might not be around much for at least a couple days. I greatly apoligize for any inconvenience this causes and will try to get back to work when I can. I just.... I have already been feeling more and more trapped and depressed with the state of things.... and this just was a huge reminder of it all. And I have so much anger building in me that I can't seem to let go of. That's not a part of me I want to admit to, but it's so tangible, I can't ignore it right now. My uncle was an intelligent and kind man who never got caught up in my family's bullshit. He always treated me more fairly than any of my actual feuding blood relatives. And now he's gone. Far sooner than I believe he was supposed to be.And I'm not even sure if I'll be allowed to be at the funeral. I'll miss him and I'll always wonder just how preventable it all could have been.
