(no subject)

Mother came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. She has emphysema. For now she is on an inhaler 4x/day. She also has a goiter, and fibrosis in her lungs, as well as a spot on the thyroid, that will be looked at next month. i should be feeling better about this, but i'm not. i remember my grandfather's descent from the disease. i am also wondering about my future now. Mother has not smoked for nearly 15 years. i thought she was safe. i thought the effects of smoking were reversed after one stopped. i stopped smoking before she did i think. Granted i was younger and hadn't smoked as many years total as she had, but now i wonder what is in store for me.

Got the dog a flea/tick collar. Can't seem to get rid of the darned things. Last night in bed i was having trouble sleeping, exacerbated by the tea i drank on the picnic, thinking about ticks crawling on me. UGH!

We didn't walk tonight, Master got home late, so there wasn't time to walk in the desert,and He hurt His knee today at work.

Since i can't think of anything else to add, i'm going to end with a bit of a rant ( Read more... )

Thus endeth the fire and brimstone for today.
