Joele: You know, I'm getting really tired of the "cool" diseases getting all the attention and parades. What about the uncool diseases? Steve has Croen's disease. Sure, it won't kill him but it affects every aspect of his life and will do so for the rest of his life.
Me: Yeah, chronic illness is far reaching.
Joele: That's what I'm saying. Like your back, that's a serious issue but you won't see anyone doing an organized Walk for it.
Me: ... Yeah, it's lead to extreme sleep deprivation, loss of energy, intense pain, and tons of depression. Where's my ribbon?
Joele: Exactly. There should be something for uncool diseases.
Me: Hah, like a "Live Strong" bracelet.
Joele: Yeah, but it would say "Uncool disease."
Me: "Live Strong... For The Rest of Your Fucking Life."
Joele: YES!
