And because this year just keeps getting better, my brother's friend, who was born HIV positive, was just sent home from the hospital because what they thought was an infection is actually just his body shutting down. They've given him some drugs to help his immune system, but they're basically saying there's nothing they can do. He just turned 23 yesterday. And just a few days before that, he found out his stepdad (who was an asshole) was found dead in prison. His mother died years ago. He currently lives with his grandmother who is fighting cancer. I just. I don't even know. He's like my brother's only friend too.
And my grandma hurt herself. Her skin tears like tissue paper. So we have to watch her even more carefully and make sure she keeps the bandages on. If it doesn't get better, we'll have to take her to the doctor and my mom isn't supposed to be moving around that much yet.
Tired doesn't even begin to cover it.

Date: 2011-02-13 06:16 am (UTC)I just feel so bad for my brother and his friend. He's a sweet kid (like I'm not just 2 years younger than him). My brother cried in front of me and our mother for the first time in years and I just wish I could do something.
