His stepdad isnt on dialysis. Maybe diabetes, not 100% on that but he's not like dying or anything. He's perfectly fine. The cancer was a few years ago. His toes amputated a few years ago too. He gets around just fine tho.
If Lou's stepdad isn't on dialysis, it'd be a big surprise.
Lou has a sort of low cunning, but he's intellectually lazy. He recently claimed to not know what hyperglycemia was, and he's either allergic to research (about his medical conditions, about services he's eligible for) or he's claiming not to know in order to beg for funds.
It's a little of both, probably. Lou was begging for money to buy a new sharps container, but he mysteriously stopped that grift once this thread noted that Lou could requests free sharps containers from the company that makes his insulin (and posted the URL).
Lou's said a lot about his stepdad's dialysis. It's all been in passing, focused on the ways that the stepdad's dialysis affects
Lou, but there are more details than a lazy researcher would be able to naturally call upon. Lou has described hemodialysis appointments, the process of getting on peritoneal dialysis instead, and mentioned in a completely disinterested and apathetic way that his stepdad was getting closer to a donor kidney.
Lou recently tried to write a furry transformation story with an unreliable narrator who didn't realize he had been transformed into a pregnant tiger-woman with huge boobs. After reading that masterpiece, I think everyone here would agree that Lou is not capable of weaving a false background narrative about his stepdad's dialysis over such a long time period, and with such subtlety.
I'm not saying his stepdad couldn't have had cancer. You can have cancer
and also be on the diabetes--toe amputation--end-stage renal disease train, and if Lou doesn't want to use your cancer for sympathy that week he might never mention it. Lou has also told the world that his stepdad has early dementia (but only once, and he hasn't mentioned this claim again), that he has another diabetic foot ulcer brewing, and that the only person in the family who drives is his mother.
We just know he's super into furries n my little pony. [...] rumor has it, years n years ago, his mom fucked a horse.
Lou did claim that his mother funded some of his furry fanart commissions... ...maybe the two of them can split the shipping on a Bad Dragon order.
