You know, I’ve had something of a roller-coaster week: emotions going up and down, to match the various bits of good and bad news I’ve received.
I had another unwelcome bit, last night: although not one that affected me, directed.
I’m a Terry Pratchett fan.
So the news, a few years ago, that he’d been diagnosed with a form of early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease touched me, deeply.
As was his involvement in the Right to Die campaign.
Thankfully — or possibly not — the progress of his condition has been slow.
Although, having lost a grandmother to the condition, I’ve always felt that, with each screened interview, I could see the effects of the condition digging in.
There was news from
The Guardian, yesterday: Terry’s had to cancel an appearance at an up-coming convention. Something he’s never had to do, before.
I’m definitely not happy.
And can’t help but wonder this. When will he be taking
this option.
