you know, normally I'd probably come up with some kind of excuse for why I've been kind of reclusive and like nowadays, basically ANYTHING would sound plausible, right? "I got back memories suggesting I was a serial killer and I've been avoiding people for the public good" or "I've become possessed with the spirit of a hermit" or "I now have the power to turn people into pudding with my eyes" btw if this has happened to anyone, I'm sorry I was just really insensitive (ㄒoㄒ) but I guess the truth is that my health took a huge dip and I've been in and out of hospital for a bit and I don't like talking about that much at all but yeah they're considering a lung transplant if I can get my health better so I guess hit me with all the classic social media health tips? not kombucha tho I would rather die thanks y(^ｰ^)y also I'm so incredibly bored, please send cat vids or something

If it's any reassurance, the medical facilities here are pretty good with that kind of thing, even if it obviously fucking sucks going through it regardless.

I had a bone marrow transplant there over a decade ago, and I'm still here now, so.

mm I really hate hospitals but everyone here is really nice at least
also I realize that's pretty long ago and the procedures are wildly different but... do you remember how you felt before the treatment?
if it's not weird to ask

also not to be weird but I think I would take a bullet for your cat (ᗒᗨᗕ)

I mean, immediately before, I felt terrible, since I had to go through several days of chemo in preparation for it. Though I assume that's not what you're asking.

[ hm. he's never really talked about this, or even thought too hard on it, so he doesn't have an immediate answer. ]

I don't know, I was a kid with no friends who hadn't done much. I didn't have much of a life, so I don't think I cared that much about how it turned out, as long as I didn't have to keep feeling like shit all the time. I was more scared of suffering through possible complications than of dying.

[ ...this really is an awkward conversation shift, but he brought it on himself. ]

I'm sure she'll be flattered to hear that. :)
