BioIn 2019, a Nexus-6 replicant named Roy Batty illegally gained entry to Earth from the off-world colonies in order to meet Eldon Tyrell, owner of the Tyrell Corporation. Replicants were created to have only a five year lifespan, so Roy Batty came back to Earth to find the designer of the Nexus line of replicants in order to gain more life.
I was born with severe congenital heart disease, and in May of 2007 I was told that I may have five to ten years left to live. Like Roy Batty, I find this impossible to accept. Roy Batty ultimately failed in his quest, but I and others like me can draw inspiration from his refusal to give up.
This journal is about CHD, end-of-life issues, medical mayhem and the hope that science will pull my ass out of the fire. The posts will vary; the only thing I can promise is that -- unlike Roy -- I won't put out my doctor's eyes with my thumbs.
