26. i have been really sick, too.

Tue Aug 12, 2014, 10:52 AM

Aug 2014

a neuropathy in my arm has been bumping up against my carpal tunnel, and my right arm has been a pain in the ass for 2 years. pain pills scorched my intestines, lost a lot of weight, woke up my gravel-y gall bladder, yeah. like that.

plus some persistent bronchitis.

but those critters keep us moving. my biggest dog follows me everywhere i go, is always there, and sleeps as curled up by me as his big ass can get.
pretty sure i would not be here without him. (and so, the stbx wants to claim "his" dog. who could barely pick him out of a line up.)

but trudging i am. still.
