Good stuff, bad stuff
My cousin is doing well. Her hair's gone, but so are the original symptoms that resulted in the diagnosis. Fingers are crossed that she and chemo have kicked cancer's ass.
My dad's memory/thinking processes are getting really fuzzy. They don't think it is Alzheimer's but is probably dementia. That's apparently a general diagnosis used when the brain is just not working that well any more. I'm sad about that. I feel guilty that it is falling to my brother to be his primary caregiver. The thought of selling the house and most of my belongings and moving up to Michigan depresses me so much. I'd be suicidal if I did that. Given the crappy choice of being depressed and feeling guilty and being suicidal, I think I'll stay where I'm at.
