I feel so sorry for him, and after having gotten to actually meet him, I feel even worse for him. Chronic pain, even if it is a low drone, colors the entire waking day. :( His book list is wonderful! I'm especially pleased to see Dante's works on there as well as a bit of Rand. Seamus Haney's Beowulf translation is still considered to be the best there is. I have some of it in the Old English, so if he has a comment/question, I'd love to help out. :D One fun exercise: how many different words for death/pain did OE have? lol. They have dozens of words for how somebody dies--painfully, by the sword, painfully sworded, etc. :D I’m sorry to hear that Boy is still hurting.

I too am super impressed with all of Boy's work to prepare for college. I hope he gets acceptance letters from his top schools... the waiting is hard, isn't it? I'll also be keeping him in my thoughts in terms of the health issues... My husband lives with chronic pain and it's so hard. I can only imagine how much harder it would be for a young person... I hope you find some answers and relief soon! Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving the supportive comment... Those comments really mean a lot to me. :) I’m catching up on blog reading and just had to stop by… I too am super impressed with all of Boy’s work to prepare for college.

I am impressed and a bit intimidated by everything he has done to prepare for college. I hope he gets some relief from his pain and discomfort soon. I have been keeping him in my thoughts.
