Lacy Neff arrived at Massachusetts General Hospital nine months ago with a heart resembling shattered glass, a trail of baffled doctors behind him and, by some estimates, a matter of weeks to live. “There were times when they said, ‘You might make it two weeks,’ and then there were times they said, ‘You might make it to a year,’” said Neff, a DJ for Morgantown, W. Va., radio station WVAQ. “They just didn’t know.” Neff had been diagnosed with amyloidosis — a rare disease that creates a buildup of proteins which interfere with the function of vital organs. In Neff’s case, his heart was under attack.

Glad to hear things are improving!
America is at that awkward stage.
