Thx, Sandie

Amazingly enough she sent me an email today, the first since my husband

told her about my diagnosis 6-ish months ago (before that we'd been

emailing each other semi regularly.) Only it was just a stupid forwarded

joke, no mention of me or 'hope you're alright' or anything. I feel like

it was a total passive aggressive shot at me.

But I have to try not to let her get to me, I need to save my energy for

more important things, like getting out of bed, taking the cat who was

just in surgery yest to the vet again today because he apparently was

allergic to their innoculations and spiked a huge fever and looked like

he was going to die, dealing with homeschooling, going to PT, shopping

for groceries and, haha, working.

Well, I would, except she cut off all communication. She's never once

talked to me about anything since then. I am contemplating an email that

talks about how I really feel, but that's probably not a good idea. But

it's true, I wouldn't wish this illness on anyone, even

her, it's just too horrible.

God, I hate this damn disease and all the pain and trouble and

agony it causes Life was hard enough before and now it just

feels unbearable...

Thx for listening,
