I was in shock. And you learn that there are ways to accept things. There are worse things to have. For a time, Shelton took prescription drugs for his illness. But now he takes none, because nothing's worked.
Some people get worse and never get better.
That's called chronic progressive. Others have relapsing and remitting, where it comes and goes, and I tend to be one of those. Shelton has been a huge man for a long time. His shirts have 22-inch collars. He has a sense of humor to match.
