Things are not good with sFIL. His cancer has spread; it's in his spine now: he also has "something" sticking out of his side. He is taking narcotics because of pain and now they have given him constipation which is making his pain terrible. We're really concerned. When he started this fight 2.5 years ago he was generally healthy (other than the cancer obv). He taught exercise classes and was a good weight including some muscle mass. He is 85 now so not a ton of muscle but he was lean and strong. Now he's lost weight but it has all rearranged and he looks generally unhealthy. He's been down with various ailments for so long his general health has deteriorated a lot. So he just seems much less prepared to fight, you know? Praying so hard for some quality of life to return. Also very worried about the quantity.
Had the realtor over yesterday. I guess we aren't good enough for DH's friend so she gave us to an associate. Not surprised but a little disappointed. Especially when she gave us the comps and said she would expect it to sell for what we paid 10 years ago. The look in my eyes! Omg. My H was visibly pissed. Then I told her the other side of the neighborhood houses are much different. They were a different builder, were much smaller, no garages, tiny lots. She looked at her paper and said, "Oh, your house has twice the square footage of that house. Forget I said that number." She smiled us later with a number 10-20k higher than we kind of expected. But now my confidence is shaken. In general she was very positive about the house. She seemed to think the work we need done is much less expensive than we feared. But do I trust her?
DD is coming off one med and onto another for ADHD. Trying another stimulant. She is having some emotional outbursts but I think that is more the med that is being tapered vs the new med. Fx we don't have to add an SSRI.
