Several people have asked about my Dad's health issues that I alluded to here. What he has is a rare disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (or PSP, for short) with Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). Not many people know what it is, but we liken it to ALS to give others a small picture because it's very similar... but still a different disease.
There is no treatment. No cure. What was supposed to take a few years to happen to him... has happened within a year and a half. He was basically diagnosed and only months later developed late stage symptoms. His disease is more aggressive than it is progressive and we're struggling to deal with it and help HIM deal with it.
So, I hope you all understand that my mind -- and my heart -- are definitely not in my work.
