Remember Chunk from the Goonies?

Remember that scene in the Goonies where the Fratellis were questioning Chunk by threatening to put his hand in the blender? And he starts talking… Everything. OK! I’ll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog… When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out… But the worst thing I ever done – I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I

Because David has taken it upon himself to throw up his meds more, everyday since Friday afternoon actually, it has been a struggle. My knees ache so much that I had to take my strongest pain meds to see if I can sleep tonight. The trouble with that is if David wakes, I won’t know it. I am also developing a deep chest cold, which is the result of my Lupus. How do I know? After 13 years, you can begin to tell when the Lupus is active, so that means an increase in my steroids. Tomorrow we are meeting with the psych team, so hopefully we can explore some hospitalization. During his last
