Dealing with dying
Sorry to hear that, Bart. It is a hard thing to deal with.
I can imagine a bit how it must been like for you. My dad has been ill for most of his life. Trough sercomstances it was impossible to examin him. But the docters think he probably has multiple sclerosis. He's degrading slowly, and now he is in an electrical wheelchair for a few years now. And for a man who was always bussy with his hobby's, he can't do anything anymore.
I wish you the very best.

"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.
