Upon a Pale Horse

Last week it was my cousin's nephew who died and my friend's father, today the last of my grandfather's siblings passed away, my aunt Marge. Honestly I was never very friendly with her, she was a bit of a hard woman and I only really ever saw her on pool party or poker nights. In fact last year at my cousin's graduation party was probably the first time I saw the woman since I graudated high school.

Never the less, she was the last of the siblings. She died of uterine cancer (yes ladies we still do have to see the ob/gyn even post menopause). The cancer spread like wildfire though I don't think she opted to do anything about it. She was in her nineties.

Also my aunt put her cat to sleep today. THe poor thing was shrieking in pain from arthritis. They had been giving her cortisone shots but they stopped helping.

Soul has two swollen limbs again and is in his frantic, anxious state. I will be having the vet check him but now that he's not just pooping on the floor but pissing everywhere again I seriously have to consider taking him out of here. He needs to be an only cat (and someone needs to figure out why his limbs swell. I say something is wrong with him.) I can't even move without him panicking so now he's utterly hiding from everyone only emerging to piss on the floor or in my tub. He actually shit in front of his food. NO animal does that. Animals do not mess where they eat. That alone tells of a severe disturbance in this cat.

The next person the Pale Horse comes for is going to be me if I can't get this sugar under control.It was 290 earlier, so I took a SECOND 20 units of insulin. an hour later my sugar was 320 in spite of it. I have no idea. I had a freaking salad and some zucchini for dinner.

So yeah, not a happy day.

Photo a day in August. Today's prompt is 'writing.' You get to see my handwriting. Outside of silvrethorn & evil_litle_dog (who's seen lots of it) I'm not sure anyone has ever seen it. It was slightly better in medical school before the nerve damage but now, I'm n ot sure anyone can read it easily (even me, seriously on the notes i'm taking for class it's all WTF does that say?)
