    This is the most interesting part for me:
    By this point, Jackie and I had grown to be very good friends. I was expecting sympathy from her, but what I got surprised me. She was angry with me. She told me that I was wasting my life and that I should be ashamed that I was throwing it away when there are so many people out there who are fighting to stay alive. Jackie, herself, has myotonic dystrophy and has to stay very healthy in order to keep her symptoms in check.

    It's natural for us to express sympathy but it was a kick that seemed to motivate you.

    Congratulations.
