Gleason

Sad story, but Steve is giving a great example of how to fight until the very end.

I hate to say it, but I don't think he will be around for next season. RIP, Warrior.

I watched Theory of Everything recently and was asking the same.question about Hawking surviving. It's very rare but does happen .

quote:

Life expectancy turns on two things: the motor neurons running the diaphragm—the breathing muscles. So the common way people die is of respiratory failure. And the other thing is the deterioration of swallowing muscles, and that can lead to malnutrition and dehydration. If you don't have these two things, you could potentially live for a long time—even though you're getting worse. What's happened to him is just astounding. He's certainly an outlier.
