Big Bro in Jail
Yes, due to my brother's drug addiction and theft, he has been in the local county jail since yesterday. Today was his court hearing, and my mother and I went. As the judge spoke, my brother hardly looked at my mother and I, though he did wave at us when he first entered the room. He has to stay in jail for another week, and then another court date to determine how long he'll be staying (if at all). I hope he's in there for at least thirty days. I know that's horrible of me to say, but my family and I have been suffering under his constant drug abuse, whether it be with him stealing money or personal affects. Hell, about two or three Fridays ago I slept out in his car with him after my father temporarily kicked him out for stealing $250. He has to learn his lesson, which obviously isn't happening here in the outside world. Therefore, while I wish him the best and wished it didn't have to come to this, I believe it's for the best. I wish him luck.
Oh! And I discovered I have a new disease: hereditary hemachromatosis. It's where my liver produces too much iron into my blood stream, which after a few years left untreated could've permantely damaged my heart and liver, and so now I must have a unit of blood taken every week until my hemaglobin goes from 34 to 11. I have to be full-blown anemic. Oh boy...And after having two treatments, I'm noticing a difference, and I do not like it. Mostly I'm much more tired than usual (which is really saying something) and I'm forgetting things left and right. Seriously, there are times where I don't just forget about a homework assignment, it's to the point where I sometimes forget I'm even taking a class. I'm not sure if this is normal, but I hope it goes away and soon.
