Bad Guy

I’m the bad guy, but not the cool version that Billie Eilish sings about, the one that annoys 73 year old women and make them avoid you like the plague.

I am sick of being the bad guy…

  • the one who has to question why my nom still has medicine in her Mon AM pill slot on Monday evening
  • the one who has to obsess about what she is eating 24 hours before a scheduled PET scan because of the required no carb, no sugar diet restriction.
  • the one who has to cancel the PET scan the evening before because her blood sugar dipped too low, forcing her to eat carbs / sugar for a quick fix
  • the one who has to ask her if she’s gotten out of bed and walked around when your sister says she’s in pain and can’t move in the bed
  • the one who has to repeatedly answer the same questions because she either has chemo brain fog or dementia or “doesn’t pay attention to what I say” (her words not mine)

Thoughts that have crossed my mind today…

  • Uninstalling the LibreLinkUp app and just live in blissful ignorance about my mom’s blood sugar.
  • Not monitoring her diet before her PET Scan scheduled for next Monday and letting the results be what they are, even if it ends up being erroneous.
  • Running away (just kidding, 🤔)
