Hound dog
Nana's are Beautiful
When I took Katie and kayla home after the baby shower, the boys and M came outside to great us.
Remember when I told you that at xmas M looked like he'd just spent years in a concentration camp? I mean he was emaciated beyond belief then......
Katie had said something a while back about him being so sick and he'd lost so much weight, and honestly I just dismissed it as her usual whining. Figured she was going to use his being sick as an excuse for his lost job or something.
Now I've worked in hospitals with some critically ill people. I've seen emaciated many many many times. But the image of him walking out to the parking lot keeps replaying in my head because I seriously have never seen someone so severely emaciated able to walk. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say he looks like the walking dead. I think I could literally span his waist with my hands. Granted, he wasn't walking well.....but he was walking. I kept waiting for him to fall over.
AIDS keeps popping to mind. Not HIV, but full blown AIDS.
Could be the meth I suppose, but if it was just the meth I'd think it would've done him in with the way he looks.
Whatever it is, he does not look like a man with long to live.
According to katie the ER blew him off when he went in there so "sick". Well, that doesn't surprise me. He looks like a hard core addict and they'd assume first that he was drug seeking.
And I doubt seriously if the man has ever been tested for HIV or AIDS. Katie either for that matter.
Katie herself is very thin.
I *think* though that it is the meth. Katie gave Nichole 2 baby sleepers and a pooh bear. (someone had given Evan the pooh bear, katie snatched it from him for the baby I learned from kayla) Nichole had to throw away the sleepers they reeked so foul. They never made it out of the park with them. She didn't want to smell it all the way home. The pooh smells but not quite as bad as the clothes did. She's planning to try to wash the heck out of it, but if she can't get the smell out it's going into the trash too.
She told me it smelled exactly the way katie's old apartment smelled. Which tells me it smelled like the meth, because that's what katie's apartment used to reek of, among other things. Once you've smelled that over the top rank foul take your breath away smell you never forget it.
I'm assuming that since this is the first time they've had a steady income they've actually had control over.......as much as possible is going for meth. If that's the case, M won't be around much longer.
Not that I'm going to cry about that at all. Except then katie would get even MORE money from social security in death benefits. (seems never ending)
