This was the last shower he took by himself. A shower with dial antibacterial soap in preparation for his cervical spinal biopsy surgery. I saw this last night after midnight and I fell apart. The tears fell just like they did that day after they wheeled him back to surgery. Aaron had to hold me up as we stood in the now empty pre-op room. We had no idea he would loose the use of his arms. We had no idea the pain he would have to endure. We had no idea the depression we would face and the hole we would fall in. July 16th 2019 was the beginning of another unbelievably difficult chapter in the book of Adlers fight against brain cancer. A year later there is improvement and stability but what a fucking struggle to get there.
