President Bartlett's struggles continued this week on The West Wing. The exacerbation has not abated. He struggled with crippling fatigue. He had to be carried in the arms of another person off the plane. He was completely at the mercy of the disease. And when he tried to battle back, he apparently paid a high price (we won't know what price until the next episode).

Even knowing what the price might be...he choose to be the master rather than the slave...at least for a while.

Even knowing what the price might be.

I understand that choice.
