Quite a bit has been going on with me since the last update, things have been rough. The landlord has been doing some upgrades to the house. Nothing that makes it better to live in but definitely looks better. New roof since the old one dumped the weather into my bedroom, but I think there's a mold problem now. The doctor says that there's "nothing they can do" about my left eye vision loss, but I'm gonna give it some time and then go see a different doctor for another opinion. I don't really want to give up on this. I saw another doctor, my brain doctor last week and he pressed on my skull over the plate. It crunched and it startled us both, so there's going to be more tests soon about my skull. We also went from MRIs every 4 months down to every 3 because some of the doctors are seeing things others aren't and they want to keep a closer eye on it.
The real piss off though is the absolute betrayal from my younger brother. I don't like him at the best of times, but I'm always there trying to make sure he's included because he has no friends or social life (100% his fault. He's not a pleasant person.) Some examples include me renting an expensive cabin on the other side of the island we live on so that we can try to get in some family time, and inviting him to my birthday party up a mountain to go snow tubing. He wanted to do more "brotherly stuff, like buy a boat together and fix it up" so I bought a boat that I'm now trying to sell. Yesterday I found out that not only did he just talk trash about me the entire trip up the mountain, but he's also been keeping my ex-wife updated on my life including information about my current girlfriend and her child which is really none of her business. I got mad and didn't think it was the time to try to talk to him about it. Instead, I got on a boat and went to the mainland where I'll be for a few days staying with some friends from my childhood.
There's been some good too of course. My strength has been coming back. Last year at this time I couldn't mow the lawn or pick up a gallon of milk, but yesterday morning I went on a 30 kilometer bike ride, mowed the lawn, chopped up a bunch of firewood (with a chainsaw, no axe swinging yet) and then went to work setting up a sound system for the summer show for 12 hours. I'm a little sore today but it feels good to not feel as crippled.
