The other thing is that the whole time this is going on, you are also in pain because your nervous system has been damaged. When you have any type of Sclerosis or Dystrophy, what happens is your system is still trying to send the messages to your body to do what it's supposed to do. When it gets no reaction, it thinks something is wrong.

Pain is the brain's means of letting you know there is something not working properly, or that something needs fixing. Therefore, when it realizes nothing is working, it responds in the only way it knows how, by sending out pain signals. If the condition doesn't improve, it keeps trying to send out the message that there is a problem, and it keeps getting louder and louder, increasingly painful.

In spite of this, Jay kept working on the Eldarn sequence almost to the end. According to Robert, even when Jay couldn't write he was contributing by providing feedback on the chapters that Robert would write. That way Robert was able to stay on track with what information needed to be revealed and when. Jay's name is not listed as author as a courtesy; he was one half of a two-person writing team that created one of the better fantasy trilogies I've read in a number of years.

I struggle every day to find the words sufficient to write articles like this. I can't even begin to understand what Jay had to overcome mentally, emotionally, and physically to do what he did every day just by opening his eyes and dealing with his situation. The fact that he was able to help in the creation of anything is amazing, that it was good enough to be published is incredible, and that it is superior to so much of what is on the market today is nothing short of miraculous.

So wherever you are right now Jay, I'm waiting as patiently as I can for part three of the Eldarn Sequence to be released, and thank you for being a really bright spark of light in a world where there are far too many fake stars.
