Helluva Life

I am losing my voice. Words. Vocabulary. I am forgetting what things are called. 'Thing' is my go to word. It is not Alzheimer. It is something else. Something worse.
My skin is getting looser. Sometimes I'm afraid that while I'm showering it will slip off and curl around my feet like a wet towel.
My skin is disappearing in flakes. a blizzard in slow motion. There are things growing on my body. I am turning into a tree.
