I'm shocked. What's the prognosis? I must say you are a great inspiration for making stuff that's become so complex simple again. We really need that in a world full of people who understand less and are being abstracted away. I was/am really looking forward to a zmq hackathon again.

Prognosis is so shitty my spell checker can't deal with it. Chances are I've less than a month. I'll slowly choke to death. Happily Belgium has euthanasia and I've already told my doctors to plan for that.

That's bad. Any chance to go home?

Yes, I'll be home for a while at least until I need oxygen and morphine again.
