I do need more sleep but the kid is very ill. Docs found bad things on her pancreas and gall bladder. She is having surgery to remove the gall bladder next week and then they are doing more stuff to her pancreas in November. She's losing her hair and spends most of her time in the bathroom tossing cookies she hasn't been able to eat since April. She lives on huge ass enzyme pills and antibiotics and last week they put her on daily breathing treatments. Then the silly cat got the spinal injury. When I'm not at work, I'm with kid for another CT scan or MRI or x-ray or ESU or seeing yet another specialist or forcing meds down the cat. The minute I close my eyes kid gets me up to take her to the ER or the sound of her getting up wakes me and I can't sleep when she is in the bathroom violently hurling. Most nights I just don't even bother trying to sleep, I just sit here in front of the TV waiting, watching these horrid programs on TV that give me nightmares if I do fall asleep. She works as much as she can and on the weekends, if she feels up to it, we go for a long drive to cheer her up. It will get better but, until then, I'm up.
i'm not dead yet you know.
