WEEK 82

Things are looking up a little. I am doing somewhat better financially, we are closer to completing the re-financing and my big pig is doing better, or at least no worse. Really I have learned a lot from caring for him, things I can parallel in my own life: Shit happens. Good nutrition is important. So are rest and TLC. And patience. L will have to start dialysis soon, mainly as the result of poor self-care – not watching her diet, exercising, taking her medications or keeping her doctor’s appointments. I hate to be harsh, but a lot of her problems stem from conscious decisions. Yet how many of mine do, too?
