First things first, don't anyone have a heart attack at seeing this name. Yes, it is me ... I've been gone for a long time but I just found out about this and wanted to leave a quick note.
To Rags,
We didn't exactly part on good terms but sometimes real life forces us to look at things differently. My own health has had it's ups and downs over the years, including some of what you've been having. I haven't read through all 18 pages to see all of the details, but it has clearly been a struggle and a fight. Keep fighting. Keep struggling. If you need it, draw back on the level of hate you and I once had for each other and use it for strength. However you find the strength to push on, do so. Believe me, I speak from experience when i say it does get better.
To woobie,
I don't need to tell you that the biggest reason for Scott to keep fighting is for you. The two of you have been part of each other for so long that I doubt either of you knows how to think any differently. I'm sorry that you had to go through finding him that way when this first started, but again, I speak from experience here. He would not have wanted it to be anyone else. As much as it hurt you to see him in that condition, I can say that it is because of his trust in you that, when he was at his weakest, he was able to let others do what he was not able to do for himself. I'm glad you got to spend the downtime with your family, hopefully it helped to recharge your batteries a little bit.
May health continue to return and improve. Whether it happens quickly or slowly is not as important as that it happens strongly.
