I haven't had to deal with anything so serious myself although touch and go with a maybe sepsis situation once which would almost certainly have finished me off given my immune system. The doctors were pleased as hell because they only found 6 similar reference cases. I lost a close friend to Huntington's... shit 5 years ago. I'm sure you've read up on your mum's outlook. It's bleak watching someone's brain physically deteriorate that way. Are you looking just to shoot the shit with here on hubski? I'm quite the lurker though, so hopefully someone else chattier joins ni. Or more personal on some other messaging app or skype or something? And the hair? Bumfluff at your age might be an encouraging sign even on your knees. Try shaving it like a desperate teen trying to encourage thicker growth‽
