I think it is irresponsible to condone priorities like this. Being dead will kill your momentum a lot faster than being alive and in the hospital. I've got to say, that I don't really care about this guy. I have no idea who he is. I've never even met him.
I wish him the best, and I do hope he gets better, but any caring that I could do is going to be dwarfed by those around him. His wife, his family, his friends. Maybe this is callus of me, but please, focus on the people who would actually lose you.

I wasn't necessarily condoning Andrew's priorities, but I don't really find anything wrong with them either. Mixergy is clearly very important to him, and I think he's lucky to have something he cares about so much. I've found it can help to take your mind off a bad situation by thinking about something you're passionate about, and I know if I was in a hospital bed right now I'd want to be working on a fun programming project, not worrying about the here and now.
