For those who don't know, Inadequate Boyfriend has a serious disease. I don't disclose it on any of my blogs, because, well, its his business, and he prefers to keep it to himself.
What I can say is that there is no cure for what he has. That it is serious. Progressive. And has some really REALLY unfair symptoms that unfortunately just keep getting progressively worse.
Lately, in the news (although nothing in mainstream Aussie news which I think is DISGUSTING) there has been alot of talk about a groundbreaking, unprecedented in the history of the disease kind of discovery.
Whilst it isnt a cure per se, in that you still have the disease, it seems a very VERY simple surgery could not only halt all progression, and even reverse many if not all of his symptoms.
I cannot convey the enormoity of this. This is a serious disease, that has been incurable for a long time, with many sufferers, most struck down in the prime of their lives.
There are trials being conducted worldwide. For a very small minority.
It looks as though we have managed to get Inadequate Boyfriend accepted into one.
Wow. Just........ WOW.
The hope I have been denying myself since hearing about this late last year has finally bubbled over. The possibilities are endless. Not just for my dickhead boyfriend, but for 20,000 Australians, and hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
I dont care that people in the know are asking the tough question, that if it was so simple why has it taken so long, I really dont care.
All I know is that in just a few short weeks, my man could, for all intents and purposes, be healthy.
And today, that is ALL I care about.
So fingers crossed it all goes to plan. Because if it does, he could walk, see, eat, drink, and think normally again.
Imagine being able to walk properly again. It would be the first time I had ever seen him do that. I can't wait.
I am sitting here at work, bawling my eyes out, and I don't give a flying fuck who can see.
