¡Destruida!: Alive, before quintoxication : Viva, antes del Norfloxasesino

Before Norfloxacino (fluoroquinolone antibiotic)

There are very few photos of Kate when she was alive; these are the only ones I have available. No matter what happened - and devastating things (or people, usually the same people!) kept happning - she was always alive and always Kate.

February 2009, aged 61½

It had been raining for a week and that morning the rain had gone, the sun was shining, I'd just woken up and hurried to take the budgies outside - that's why I'm wearing a funny mixture of old clothes. I can smell the mimosa and freshness no'w, but my body can't remember how it felt to be alive and my face doesn't know how to be a face.
