Sounds a bit melodramatic, I suppose, but it's true. Either they find something and can fix it, and things get better, or they don't, and I have a really big mystery on my hands.

Either way, things are changing.

I'm feeling oddly confident, like this is the way things should be going - like this is the proper ending to a chapter of my life and the beginning of another.

I hope I don't have the opportunity to look back on this cockeyed optimism and feel bad about it :-).

There's always a chance, you know - always a chance that things go wrong.

What would I like to say, in the event that such a one in a million shot happens?

Well... I love you. Each and every one of you. Yes, you, that random person who clicked on a link someone posted to this article - even though I don't know anything about you. But to those of you I do know, well, it's a bit more real.

One of the great tragedies of my life is that I don't always have the energy to know precisely why I love you, that I don't have the ability to see the wonder and power that is in each and every one of you. But I know it's there - and the failure is that I can't see it, and I do feel sometimes that it's a failure, not merely a lack. It's one I hope to correct.

Here's the thing, though: you're there all the time, to observe and feel and understand what it's like from the inside - and it would be more than a mere tragedy if you couldn't see it, that wonder, that power; if you couldn't get even a good glimpse of it, couldn't find even the merest spark to cherish, and slowly fan into a flame.

Look for it; it's there. And find it and cherish it and be it.

Some of us love you for precisely that ability to see wonder and power.

"Either they find something and can fix it, and things get better, or they don't, and I have a really big mystery on my hands they'll need to do more tests."

Fixed that for you :-D

And I love you, too...

I hope that things go smoothly today, that they find an answer, and that it's something that can be treated easily and with minimal stress.

I love you too.

I've been away from the 'net and so didn't post my well-wishes in time for you to see them. <3 I hope all is well with you; my thoughts are with you.
