one of my coworkers just went onto hospice--he's been on medical leave for I think most of the past year

we used to joke that derek would outlive all of us. he has cystic fibrosis and had a double lung transplant 20 years ago, which only like half of people survive five years after. at some point he got v/accine injured from the flu shot and got paralyzed from the waist down, he was eventually able to walk but only with canes. this whole time playing drums in a metal band. his anti-rejection drugs gave him diabetes, gi issues, and skin cancer. the skin cancer eventually moved to his bones and that's what's been causing most of his decline. btw he didn't believe in covid, never wore a mask, played shows and broke lockdown all during the pandemic... and partially paralyzed or not, he still rode a motorcycle and, more terrifyingly, drove a car (very fast) by picking up his leg with his hand and dropping it onto the pedals.

he's a gross, sleazy dude in his late forties lol but he's a lot of fun to work with and talk to, he took a particular liking to me bc I'm good in hematology and also bc he kind of has a thing for women being mean to him and also probably bc I'm a lesbian lmao.

idk I'm messaging him but like... I'm bad at normal conversations let alone hard ones and I worry that whatever I say is for me and not for him? idk. I've been spiraling a little lately. I used to make paper cranes out of post-its and leave them at his computer bc he was so delighted by them so I let him know I'd keep making them for him.

There's a place just down the street where they chop off angel's wings and fry them in oil. You should try some. Oh, the angels? Yeah they're regular people now. Simultaneously their freedom of flight is ripped away from them violently and yet at the same time they are granted freedom from the yoke of divine subservience so it's bitter sweet for them or some gay shit like that. Anyways the wings are really good.
