He now resides in a 24-hour care center with a bleak future and outlook.

Why did I mention this? Well, the other day he wrote me a (rather scribbled) note when I was complaining about pain. In it, he said that he would rather have RA any day than be in the situattion in which he now finds himself. How ironic is that?

Indeed. How ironic.
