Key...I am so happy to hear this. This is wonderful news, and it really makes my day (and barring some major breakthrough tomorrow, my entire week). Congratulations on the move to SoCal! I’d ask how it’s treating you so far, but it sounds like it’s treating you very well!

Holy shit, key, that's the best thing I've read in, like, forever. Definitely since I read the announcement that the next Nep game was coming to Switch. This definitely at least ties with that. But seriously, I'm thrilled to hear that things are FINALLY going well for you!

I'm so glad the move and the treatment has changed things so much for you.

Hearing stories of medical breakthroughs really gives me hope for the future. There's so many stories of the impossible becoming possible in recent years and lots of exciting new studies. You already know I've been in the same place you were and to be honest I'm still there some days. I'm super happy you can live your life again and not be subject to the whims of a chronic issue. It's something I'd never wish on my worst enemy.

Glad to hear you are doing better now Key!

Grandpa is sick, and while I'm not being given a ton of info, it looks like we are sliding in to the end. This is really hard on my Dad, and my Grandma can only be faring worse. I'm hoping and praying he will get better.

That sucks, dude. I'm so sorry to hear that. That's something I'm dreading - that inevitable slide to the end. My grandmother turned 99 back in January, so I know it's only a matter of time, and there's not that much time left. I hope your grandfather recovers, but if not, I hope you and your family find a source of strength in one another.

Thanks. My Grandpa has already accepted it's his time (though it is possible it isn't), which makes it easier.

My Grandpa passed.

My condolences, Forlorn. That is undoubtedly a difficult loss, and I know you will always treasure your memories of him.

Key - That's awesome! Keep feeling better.

Forlorn - Sorry for your loss. T&P for your family.
