Second Life Update. Thankfully less depressing.
9 years ago
....no not that second life.
Things have sort of stabilized with my grandparents. My Grandfather's dementia, weakness, and falls were brought about by a stroke, because he's stubborn and belligerent and was taking all of his medication wrong. He's excessively paranoid and falls into a belief that his Doctors are giving him the wrong medicines, or the wrong dosages, or they interact with one another -- and once he starts messing with it, it just spirals out of control.
Now that we KNOW that, we can take steps to prevent it. Especially with my mother living there. She's helped him get his pills sorted out and will hopefully be checking on them. He's still not 100% -- he sees things like water on the floor where there is none, or tiny spiders in the corners of his room -- but it's nowhere near as bad as it was when I posted the previous journal.
I understand that with the stroke, they've found out the cancer in his bladder has advanced, and is terminal, but that's.. sort of just been an inevitability. It hasn't shaken us up too much.
I'm currently staying in my house still. I don't have to move in with my grandparents, but I really need to focus on the art-backlog I have and work on paying the bills. They're willing to help out, but no one in the family is really in a position to take care of me financially, while I take care of them physically, so... That's a thing.
I'M HOPING TO GET BACK INTO DOING ART ACTIVELY SOON. I've managed a few simple things here or there, mostly because I've gotten sick now that things have calmed down, but they've been pretty sporadic. Few and far in between. Need to set up a proper schedule or something.
I really do appreciate all of the comments left on the previous journal. They really did help, just getting to sit down and read some of them when I had the energy. I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to put an update up like this, but hopefully this'll help reassure people that everything's getting sorted out.
It's far from perfect -- but it's getting better! Thank you all for your time and kind words. I really do appreciate it, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween coming up.

With things calming down, it's kind of to be expected that you've been feeling a bit sick, so take care of yourself as much as you can!
Do art at your pace, prioritize work and I hope that things stabilize even more and you can get back into the groove of things!
But knowing you, you'd probably find another project or something to occupy your time. xP
Sorry I'm late to respond, but I hope things are being handled a bit better with you all now.
