So my gf might have a serious medical condition

she told me that her sister just got back from the doctors, and she has something called Marfan Syndrome. basically it is diagnosed through a number of tests, and the individual is usually tall / lanky / skinny (like my gf), has scoliosis, and known heart problems...

she said, "My sister has such a severe case that she could die at any moment from her heart repturing, will probably go blind, and she can't have children"

at this point i'm not too concerned because i don't know her sister all that well... THEN she says..

"It's also genetic, and usually 50% of the parent's children have it". -- well, my gf has a lot of the characteristics associated with marfan syndrome.

you know that feeling when you hear shit like this, that ya get in your stomach and you can't "rest" or feel relaxed, well fuck - that's what i feel now.

i went through the SAME SHIT last year cause she also was diagnosed with Reynauds which is a less serious condition.

so her n' her other sister have to get tested. not knowing is worse than knowing. it's going to suck for awhile until those tests are done, and the results are in.

going to train hard as shit in the gym today, great stress reliever
