So my visit to Charleston ended on a sad note. I got to see my friend who is now in a regular room instead of ICU. However, we found out the true nature of his condition. It is much worse than any of us expected. He has hyperthyroidism, which is treatable and not really something to be upset about. Going without treatment for it for so long however, caused his body to have what the doctors called a "thyroid storm" which basically attacked all they systems in his body. Basically, it almost killed him. Now as a result of all this, he was diagnosed yesterday with congestive heart failure. So at just 28 he is living with a life threatening conditioning. Just talking about it makes me want to burst into tears. To make matters worse, they informed him that he had to completely change his lifestyle such as his diet, his exercise routine, etc. He refuses to do all of it. He doesn't want to give up all the things, especially the foods that he loves. So basically the doctors told him either you listen to us or you will be dead before 30. So it is a lot to take in. He is such a nice guy. I do not understand why nice things happen to bad people. It just isn't fair. This friend along with my boyfriend got me into anime and as a tribute to him I want to post one of his favorite scenes from one of his favorite animes-"Goldenboy." I can not blame him. It is a hilarious anime. Please, say some some prayers for my friend. Maybe his stubbornness will change. Until then, enjoy some anime...
