Not shaping up into a good Easter

cornerofmadnessThe best news so far since I've been home is that if I let the student loans sue me, the judge will look at my serious lack on money and make a judgement against me for a lot less than I actually owe. So it's almost to my benefit to let this go forward (well not like I have a choice)
My brother was taken to the hospital yesterday. I've been telling him to go for a week as has his wife and my parents but he's not the brightest bulb some times. He has the flu + pneuomonia. They hung a bag of fluids and then sent him home with his wife who's a respiratory therapist.
And my mom's best friend, my 'aunt' is very likely to die soon. She has a massive tumor on her kidney 98% it's cancerous. Kidney cancers tend to spread slow. That's not the problem. THe problem is she has had a couple of bypasses for clogged heart arteries in the past and has done NOTHING the doctor has ever told her to do (seriously, after bypass surgery when the doctor gives you a list of things you can't eat and things you need to do, DO IT). Now her heart is so bad she's likely to die under the knife. Even if she survives, she can't have chemo because of the weakened heart and she'll be on dialysis because her remaining kidney can't compensate for the overflow of fluid caused by the bad heart. Makes me want to be even more serious about my own diabetic diet.
