#doing historical research for cvid is weird because fl era does not have the knowledge or tools to detect or treat it

the question of how strong Dexter is is actually kind of hard to answer. he’s a very physically active person, both for his job and because he enjoys it, when he’s healthy. but he’s also frequently ill. not always to the point where he has to stay in bed for multiple days, but being sick does obviously limit your strength and endurance even if you aren’t bedridden.

and then there’s the question of what being healthy actually means. being a little bit sick all the time is kind of his baseline. being not sick at all is amazing but very rare. so measuring himself against those days is neither fair nor accurate. on an average day, I’d still say he’s pretty strong! but I think that question of “how much better could I be if I wasn’t constantly sick?” does linger in his mind.
