Damn, that's rough. Best wishes to him. They need to find a cure for this soon.

That sucks. I had an uncle die from that 10 years ago. One of the strongest men i have ever met reduced to typing with his toes and in tears at one point because he couldn't even tell his daughter that he loved her (at the end my aunt was the only one who could understand what he was trying to say). Both this and Alzheimer's can go die in a fire.

they called a faculty meeting at the end of school today, which everyone thought was weird, and we are meeting in the courtyard tomorrow morning. i guess this why.
