I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm a "longtime listener; first time caller." I first heard your voice in this 2013 blog and have been reading you ever since. https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/the-physical-reality-of-mental-illness/

I met and married a wonderful Canadian (born in Manitoba) many years ago and enjoy your take on Canada and Canadians. Most of all, I enjoy your mix of science, art, compassion, and sharp wit and observations. Thank you for being somebody who doesn't stay in his lane.

Undaunted Bill, you will be in my daily prayers. I’m traveling in Florida and will give you a ring the next day or two. Love, Chris

Bill, as usual your courage and clarity shine through. I'm so grateful you're willing to take us along on your journey. Your calm voice always affirms life and your faith shines through. You have the gift of dispelling any gloom by just stating the facts and your feelings in response -- reporting from the front lines of your own reality. But it's ours too. You're lighting the path so we all can follow, not without fear but with a little more familiarity and comfort than if we felt we had to go it alone. Your news today is hard to hear, but I'm looking forward to any further developments you're willing to report.

Bill, as always, I find your reporting extraordinary. I send best wishes—as feeble as that sounds—and love.

Oh fuck. Not the outcome I’ve been pulling for. My thoughts are with you and your family as you make the most of this big lemon.

Oy Bill, am sorry. That sounds very unpleasant. Please know my life is richer for knowing you and want to thank you for sharing your experiences.
