sorry the last month hasn't been the best for me. lots of things happening and changing at once. there were some issues/drama at my moms house due to my slackjawed ignoramus of a sister, my hip pain suddenly got much worse this week and it's swollen and tender. the healthcare here in michigan has been...reminiscent of virginia, which is to say, shit awful. finally saw a doctor and got a little bit of medicine but being treated like. i don't even know. not with any ounce of respect or care that is for sure.

i just found out yesterday that my dog was taken to the emergency vet who is a friend/daughter of one of my dads old customers who got us a crazy deal on amputating my dogs leg because the cancer has eaten away an entire length of his ulna. he's 13 but in surprisingly good health aside from that, so rather than let the cancer spread we are amputating and hoping for the best. he already barely uses that leg...it's scary though. we were incredibly lucky to find a vet to do the procedure for $600 as opposed to...at least $10k lol. still, im sick with worry..
