A good friend of mine died from complications of FOP. He had a great life though, with an amazingly supportive family. I miss him. Lots.

He was an avid gamer, but as all of his joints were grown over, he had to do everything with an old timey mouse with a ball in it using his thumb. He had JUST enough mobility left to mouselook this way. And he was very, very good at it.

The infections kept coming despite his family’s pro-level diligence. One took him from us when he was in his late 30’s. I cherish the time I had him in my life. He was an amazing and inspirational friend who lived as full a life as possible, given the circumstances. I wish the same for you, sir.

You are the second person with fop I have ever interacted with. Interestingly, he was also woman-crazy and loved his porn. Is that, like, a normal part of FOP or something?

Seems reasonable, yet another reason to hate that disease. I miss Garrett. He wasn't the out-and-about type, but he hung out with a bunch of us on irc (efnet). He was just as much a nerd like the rest of us. He taught me a lot about compassion.
