So I'm doing better today.  I called out from work yesterday because I was such a mess.  I almost made it through my whole shift today.  Hopefully tomorrow will go better.  I talked to my Mom.  I guess no one told my poor 12 year old niece what happened.  She was at her dad's the whole time and he dropped her off at my Mom and Dad's today.  She ran ( Read more... )

My brother emailed me back and told me that Ludwig's already been put down but Mom just couldn't bear to tell me.  He said he and his wife were there with him the whole time and he didn't die alone.  I still don't know what happened to him afterwards, which kind of sucks, but I'm hoping my brother will tell me.  We'll see.  I feel stupid getting ( Read more... )

So I talked to my Mom today and the vet is starting Ludwig down his path to not being with us anymore.  I guess he's been getting worse.  His tummy has been really screwed up and when he's walking he'll just collapse.  My Mom couldn't give me too much info because it was too hard for her to get anything out, but I learned that my brother and his ( Read more... )

Today my Mom called me to let me know they're going to have to put my dog down pretty soon.  It's one of those things we've talked about kind of recently, but it always seemed more like a distant-ish future thing.  Now it's a we're talking to the vet tomorrow kind of thing.  I guess he's having some serious trouble walking and standing and his mind ( Read more... )

I've gone and done it.  I did some vlogging.  I'm probably going to do some more.  You can find the horrors here: Imaginary  Nikoda

As some of you may or may not know/remember, I have an online novel!  Over the holidays when the shit was hitting the fan with gusto, I put it on hiatus because, well, the shit and the fan and the gusto.  But,  now things are such that I've started it back up again.  And by starting it back up again I mean I cleaned house and I'm pretty much ( Read more... )

Just to let everyone know, my brother is on the mend. He won't be fully healed for 17 months, but he's on the mend. So yay! Still no idea what happened to him. We may never know. That part is lame, but at least he's going to be ok ( Read more... )

My brother called my mom from the hospital yesterday. He was having seizures and almost had a stroke, but he's as ok as he's getting for now. Still in a lot of pain and he won't be completely healed for about 13 weeks. The doctors are starting to think someone drugged him before almost beating him to death, which is really really scary. They're ( Read more... )

My brother was attacked Oct 24 in Manhattan and left in an alley for dead, his head cracked open. He was in ICU for five days. They released him. We thought he was getting better. Thursday night my sister got a call from his landlord telling her that he found my brother in unconscious in his apartment on Wednesday and he's back in the hospital. ( Read more... )
