If you're lying, KP, consider ANY respect I have left for you gone.

IF you speak the truth, I imagine the situation is pretty hard to deal with, watching...waiting, and dealing with it. I dread the day I see any of my own take a turn for the worse healthwise.
Bare in mind that heart and head CAN meet eachother half-way, so don't let it effect your standing relationships.
Anyways, assuming this ISN'T bullshit, you have my sympathies.
