Hello, so I'm looking for another recommender now and got a reply from one of the profs I contacted and...
He said he is ill (has serious illness he said) now and just got back from hospital.
(He also retired from teaching.)
He was the 2nd best prof I knew and since the best prof I know may not be available, I really hoped that I could get a letter from him.
I don't know...normally I would not ask or bother him but I may not be able to find another prof...
What should I do?
Can I still ask him to write a letter or should I not bother him?

I feel so stucked...:( As you know my first and best prof...I don't know, I got a reply from her but she said it would be very hard to write one by the deadline (so soft declining as you said) but she said we can discuss in detail when we meet, so I am intending to talk with her sincerely.
And...I don't know
How should I reply to this prof (2nd)? Really...I don't know what to do.
Perhaps when you meet with the first recommender you'll have a better idea of where she stands...
I mean, if he is ill and just got back from the hospital, I wouldn't ask him.
Thanks,
I actually did not mention about LOR nor law school...
I just asked whether I can meet him in person and visit his office and he said he already retired and just back from hospital stay...he said he hope he will be better in a few month so soundsl ike kind of serious.
Hope he is OK...
Yeah hope so...
Ahh...I don't know.
Do you think having one from a person who I worked with works? He is one of faculty (not prof teaching there though, just visiting faculty) in the law school I'm aiming at too...but he is not a prof so it's not going to be academic letter and not sure whether it will be OK for other schools...
I don't know, I feel so depressed...
I just graduated actually...
And I am still waiting for a reply from 2 profs whom I asked but...not sure.
What I am thinking is getting one from the 1st prof...who may decline depending on our discussion and from 1 from whom I worked with...
But I dont know...how should I talk with the 1st prof?? Cannot mess up this time...
