There needs to be a balance with being vulnerable and being strong. Now we just have a dynamic of people who laugh at the weak and people who sneer at the strong. It's so dumb.

Woke up this morning with that pre-flu rancid taste in the back of my throat and a creeping soreness.

I was fine until yesterday afternoon, then the chills came, followed by gradual leg cramps. After maybe a half hour a sleep at best I woke up with a massive pressure in my lower back and no position would sooth it. Finally at like 5:30 I took a 600mg Ibuprofen which actually did the trick. I slept for about an hour and didn't feel no pain at all. Even got a good workout in. Alas, once early evening came around, so did the cramps and chills and now here I am. Sorta drunk mind you so the headache in the AM will be all my fault but what can you do?Woke up this morning with that pre-flu rancid taste in the back of my throat and a creeping soreness.

Everywhere around here is flooded today after 2-3 days of heavy rain and more on the way. Went to work this morning, or I should say I tried to. Made it most of the way there before running into a flooded out road in the dark which is fucking scary. Stopped, backed up and got turned around. Came home. Oh well, three day weekend. Fuck it.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Last night I went to visit my uncle in the hospital. He’s 80 years old and his wife is about 15 years younger than him. Now, I’ve felt he was going for awhile because he’d reflect over things and start crying randomly. He’ll also show up at the house unannounced and tell stories and cry randomly. Anyways, they took him in because they thought he had the flu which is really dangerous right now especially for old people and really young kids.
The doctor said he’s getting better, but he’s so damn confused. He forgot my name, which is the same name as his mother. Even then he had to think about it. He was playing with a towel they gave him and putting it on top of his head and stuff. Me my sister and his wife were there and he was saying random things like, “ you ladies are the three musketeers and I will protect you!”
I really think there’s something wrong with his mind. The doctor said his heart and lungs are good. But she’s waiting for the neurologist. He also has trouble hearing. Hes had this issue from when he was in his late 50’s. You have to yell when talking to him so that he can hear. I think it’s démentis he has. I looked up dementia and hearing loss and apparently there’s a link to that.
“"Those who have investigated the relationship between hearing loss and dementia suggest that a common pathology may cause both conditions or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia."
I just don’t want to get old. His wife isn’t too well herself so he might just need to go to the nursing home.

"Strain" is unlikely. More likely that neuronal loss affects both areas of the brain involved in processing hearing as well as other areas. That's unfortunate.

Geez. That's rough, Funerary_Doom. I'm sorry.
Feel free to reach out to me if you want to vent. <3 I understand what you're going through. I went through a similar thing with my grandma. She had Alzheimer's and man it was tough to watch.

my grandad had parkinson's which got pretty similar to dementia toward the end. not fun. he tried to get us all to convert to jehova's witnesses (because those fuckers ambushed him in the hospital, as is their wont) and then felt abandoned when we didn't
also a couple years before that he reapplied for his driving license just to see if they'd grant it, and they did, even though he straight up told them he'd lost control of his legs. no wonder there are so many shitty drivers in this country.

Picked up my wagon from my mechanic on Friday night after he had it for almost 2 months. I stupidly told him I wasn’t in a hurry to get it back because we needed the garage space for a week in January. I ended up having to hassle the shit out of him to get it back and not only has he not done the work he said he would (replacing ball joints, fixing the brakes, fixing some leaks), but now it blows big clouds of smoke out of the exhaust every few minutes. It’s never blown smoke before. The brakes were a bit spongey before and he was supposed to fix them but he hasn’t and now I can push the pedal all the way to the floor and the car doesn’t stop.
I’ve been going to this guy for about five years with all my other cars and he’s been the best mechanic I’ve ever had but this is the first time I’ve taken the wagon to him. I asked him before I took it to him if he was good to work on it as it’s and old V8 car and he assured me it’d be fine. I’m so fucking angry and I have no idea what move to make next apart from not paying him a cent and yelling at him a lot.

I spoke to him and managed to not yell but found it extremely difficult to keep my cool. He claims to not know anything about the car blowing smoke even though he drove it to put gas in it the day I picked it up. He doesn’t understand why I’m upset and was completely unapologetic. He wants me to bring the car back in on Thursday but I’ll try to find a new mechanic in the meantime.
