Hi,
Ah, I see. Remember the old saying, before judging a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes.
Kidding aside. There have been times in the past five years when I've doubted my decision to go for the cure. Most of the time, I'm pretty upbeat and enjoy doing what I can. But if the rest of my life were to be like those times were, then I'd rather go now. Lack of health is bad, but lack of hope is deadly.

I just mean that, no matter whether you die now or later, oblivion presumably stretches on to eternity. You simply cease to exist, and if that seems like a good thing to you, then you're in luck, because it's going to happen sooner or later.
So, however crappy those 30 years might seem relative to your best years, they're the last 30 years of sentience you get. I'd say enjoy them. Or even if you can't, at least experience them.
