Yeah, leukemia will do that to you. Lucky her.


Diss, I know that's not what you meant by your post, but on first read, it was incredibly insensitive to anyone who's been seriously ill. It reminds of of the kind of insensitivity I saw once when a bunch of my friends and I were forced to do an incredibly huge amount of walking (labour dispute, picket line, blah blah), and someone asked my friend who's in a wheel chair, "hey.. *nudge nudge* how could I get me one of those?" Her reply? "Get in a car accident and break your back."

You see my point?
