a change of greenery

I am a couple of days behind on this but I’d like to wish all of you otters a Happy HalloGivingsMas season. I’ve been a little slack on some of my social duties and I blame that solely on the proliferation of drugs coursing through my body. Since leaving the hospital I am gulping a cocktail of 13 to 15 different drugs a day. My body already had experience in the drug department but when we took too many of those we simply ate a lot of Twinkies and M&Ms. Now I am greeted with side effects of eye floaters, twitchy hands, babbling in my sleep (when I can actually sleep) and a complete brain fog. I never know what day it is, I have trouble concentrating and feel a general sense of malaise. HalloGivingsMas is an important affair to me the last couple years. I lost MeDad in 2001 and we put MeMum into care a couple years ago. That year I was alone for most of Thanksgiving as Erica‘s shitty job made her work. Chritmit we went up to see Da Younga Sista for a couple hours. It was fine but not how I remember Chritmit. Last year I spent both holidays as well as my birthday in the hospital. A few people dropped in to say hello. on both holidays but it was late in the afternoon so I spent most of the day by myself. Now that I’m in a wheelchair I’m almost guaranteed to spend those alone for most of the day. I know people have their own families and that’s where I want them to spend the day. Even if I were able to visit Da Younga lives up a couple flight of stairs, Olda moved to Virginia. My only access is the downstairs lobby. I’m truly a man on an island. But don’t feel sorry for me this is what The Universe gave me. Who am I to question the intentions of The Universe?
