For a couple days now I've had a pinched nerve in my neck that's making it hard for me to breathe.

So today I find out that I've been wrong about something important for literally years.  I only need to pass the lowest level (or equivalent) of the JLPT to graduate.  Meaning I could've been done with college half a year ago, because I know I could've and still can pass the lowest level easily.  Also, it's a month and a few days late to change what test I'm signed up for this December.

We just had a tumor removed from our cat Angel's colon where it meets with the intestines. Test came back today, and the carcinoma has spread to her lymph nodes. She has maybe six months with no treatment, or six months to a year if she goes on chemo. One of the best indicators that a cat will respond well to treatment is body weight at the time they start, and of course hers is way under where it should be since she's been unable to digest food.

This is all going to sound horrible and selfish on my part, but I try to emotionally divorce myself from the nightmare that has consumed my older brother's entire existence as much as possible. I talked to him this morning, listened to just how utterly depressed he is, and I am just fucking furious.

In June of last year, one of his four-month-old twin boys had bleeding in the brain. Despite no evidence beyond the bleeding, (which may have been caused by the boy being born two months premature, or by any by any number of things including hereditary problems), CPS determined that he had been abused and had both twins taken away. The boys were placed with a couple that was friends with my brother's wife.

Shit happened, the couple turned against my brother, and the twins were placed with the wife's mother and step-father. They weren't placed with my mother and me because I'm on prozac, ergo I'm a danger to the children. I'm not allowed to be alone with them.

Seriously.

Anyway, the wife's mother is insane and the step-father is straight-up evil, abusive and controlling. This guy somehow managed to worm his way into controlling the situation, and instead of helping my brother and sister-in-law, he's using this whole mess as a way to control them. When he says jump, they jump or he calls the authorities on them. He actually stood up in court and objected to them getting their boys back.

Meanwhile insane mother-in-law has, very literally, rendered both children autistic. I am not exaggerating. These boys, nearly two years old, are operating on a six-month-old level. She doesn't play with them. She doesn't talk to them. She doesn't allow them to socialize, or make messes, or make commotions, or be disruptive. She sits them in front of a big-screen television and plays the movie Rio all day.

Jesus, DN, that sounds like the sort of thing you should be calling newspapers about and telling it at length to a reporter with page hits glowing on their eyes.

Grandmother had a bad slip and hit her head. The doctors aren't optimistic.

This is probably rationalization - I mean, she's 90 and wasn't that much in touch with reality lately - but the avoidability of the situation is what bothers me most. So much money doing Bejeweled clones and we have no decent solution for the fact eventually most humans need help to keep themselves upright.

My mother feels even worse, as she was caring for her at the time. Ugh.

Been thinking about my nephews, again.

It seems that the mother-in-law is blaming vaccinations for the twins having IQs of 60.

Tragedy fact: my brother and his wife spent thousands of dollars at a fertility clinic in order to have these children.

I am seriously starting to think Zara has the right idea. This sounds like an awful enough story that the press just might pick it up.

so embarrassingly enough, after playing pinball fx2 I think I janked up my hand pretty bad. The base of my right index finger had some soreness and I felt some resistance when I bent the finger. About 5 days later I finally decide to look it up and it's probably trigger finger. So now I have my finger in a ghetto splint to see if I can fix any swelling that may have happened. I'm hoping it helps, because jeeze this kind of sucks. Also typing this without a finger really fucking blows.

ARGH THIS COUGH JUST WON'T DIE.

Got over the cold part of this cold (was it a cold?) two weeks ago. Since then I haven't been able to shake this cough. Saw doc on monday, he just told me to take cough syrup. Didn't feel THAT bad yet, but this stupid thing keeps getting worse every day. Can't bloody sleep at all.

Strange. Whatever this is, it seems to have attacked my sinuses and throat, but I've been spared the vomiting symptoms.
