Stubby

Hormones suck.

Ok, so since I have been on face book a lot of my friends ask how we're doing and there's that question I hate to answer. "Do we have any kids?" Well right now it is a no and here is why. For the past few years Clint and I really haven't been trying, but we aren't doing anything to stop it either. So after my cycles starting coming farther and farther apart I decided to see a doctor about it. As it turns out I am not ovulating. So I have been placed on Progesterone for 10 days to make my cycle come then I will be put on Klomid to make me ovulate. The Progesterone makes me very tired and I am hungry all the time. I've gained 2 pounds in the last 9 days. But the doctors are worried that it might now work, because I have a lesion in my pituitary gland. That is the master gland that controls almost all the hormones in the body. I've known about the lesion since 2002 I was suppose to have a follow up MRI in 6 months, but we lost our insurance. I just got the follow up MRI last month to see if it has gotten any bigger and it has, but not by much. The scary thing is my neurologist on my last visit changed the description from lesion to tumor. But the problem now is, did it just start growing? Because my hormones have only started to act funny the last few months. So we'll just have to see how it goes. We have to get my body back on track before kids are even an option.

Update on Sam

They took everything 6 inches below her knee off. The surgery went very well. The doc's took part of the tibia, the shin bone, and turned it horizontal so it attaches to both bones to give her better support. She got to come home last Tuesday. She is living at Clint's mom's house, so they set Sam up in her front room. She is going back up to the hospital today to for them to re-check her leg and put on a smaller cast. Right now she has a cast that goes all the way up to her hip. She hates it, because it is so heavy. Sam is an amazing little girl. She has such a great out look. She just keeps saying, "It's just a foot. At least I'm still here." Her only worry is about dating. She is worried that no one will want to date her without her foot. We have told her that anyone who meets her will love her, with or without a foot. She is really excited, because a orthodontist heard about her and is going to give her braces for her teeth for free.

Sam's Foot

I have had a very hard time lately as many of you know Clint's niece Sam was run over by a semi on Monday and it took off her foot. The doctors reattached it and did all that they could do but it looks like she is going to loose everything from the ankle down. I just got off the phone with Cory(Clint's sister) and she is just devastated. She knows Sam is going to loose the foot but Sam doesn't yet. I mean how do you tell someone that. She is waiting until morning to tell her, so that Sam will have one more good night of thinking nothing is going to change. I feel so helpless, there isn't much I can do except send prayers and happy thoughts that way. Sam was horrified when they cut all of her clothes off. She just kept crying, "They're cutting off my good clothes." So Clint and I have decided to try and replace outfit she lost. I am saddened by the people who voiced their opinions on KSL's web page. One person even had the gall to say that Sam was trying to prove something. Others said that it was Sam's fault and that she should of been paying attention. The truck came up from behind her. I didn't know you had to walk down the street looking over your shoulder the whole time. But all I got to say is that if it is not safe to walk on side walks where can we walk? I want to thank everyone who has sent their love and support, it is much appreciated.

Stubby

Last night Clint and I were getting ready for bed when we heard Stubby meowing hysterically in the kitchen(Stubby hardly ever talks). We ran in there expecting to find him injured. He was just sitting there. A praimantis had somehow came in with him through the kitty door and Stubby was crying because he was scared. He spent the rest of the night on our bed.

Stardust

I just wanted to say, that I love the movie Stardust. At first I didn't but it now has really grown on me. I am now reading the book along with audio book. That's my favorite way to read right now, because it makes it so you can just listen when in the car or out in the yard. But I recommend watching Stardust, if you like Harry Potter movies you'll see Mr. Weasley playing a goat that has been turned into a man. Plus the man who does Charming's voice in Shrek is one of the princes.

Un-employment

I just have to say that I am definitely a 8 to 5 kinda person. I hate being on unemployment. I know I have more time to get things done but I feel like I'm not getting anything done. My brain feels all scrambled, like I can't concentrate on one thing. I feel like everything is chaos. It is not so bad if I make plans with someone cuz then it feels like a schedule. If I try to make a list of things to do I have found that I start something then move on to something that wasn't on the list but needed to be done. AAAHHHHH!! Oh well, just 5 more weeks. :)

This is Butters

Poor Butters

My sweet little Butters got neutered on Monday. He was very sad. He cried all the way there, but when I picked him up he wouldn't talk to me. He just hid under the blankets on my bed til Clint got home. It was obvious that he was crying because his eyes where all red and the fur on his cheeks were wet. He really likes his pain meds. We gave him his last dose last night and when I got up this morning he had torn the house apart; wires hanging, stools tipped over, cat food everywhere. He had way too much fun. I hope what they say is true, that neutered cats calm down. If not I'm in trouble.

Spring time!!!

I am so happy it is finally warm. Clint and I got our yard cleaned up last weekend. I got all my flowers planted and Clint's peas planted. Hopefully they will grow, I really don't have a green thumb, but oh well. Stubby is glad that it is warm outside too, he can go out and not freeze. (We had to shave him bald after he got in a cat fight and rolled in a bur patch.)

Update

I just thought I would let everyone know the plan. This year the Doc is being sent to Iraq on May 31st for 3 months. So I am going on unemployment again. So if anyone needs me I'll be available. Clint will be staying at Lehi Roller Mills, the transfer was decided against. We are happy with this, cuz all the worries of; will he have vacation time, have benefit's, get a pay cut are all gone. Yeah!!!

Black Stuff

Well Blackie is gone. Clint and I put her down last night at our home. Dr. Welch let me take some injectable meds home so that we didn't have to stress Black out by driving her in the car to the vet. We are burying her today up at dad and ma's house around 4p.m. We are putting her in the little forrest area in their front yard.

Love, Jenny

Update on Black Stuff

The vet called on Saturday and it is Basal cell carcinoma, cancer. It is pretty far advanced and he gave her only a couple of weeks. She has slowed down how much she eats, but she is still eating about a can of food a day. Clint and I have decided not to prolong her suffering. We plan on taking her in this week to be put down. I am afraid of the effect it will have on Stubby if we let her keep going on like this. He has become her own little body guard. He is constantly checking on her and sleeping on the couch with her. I think it will make it harder on him when she goes. Thanks for all your support.

Love, Jenny

Black Stuff

Black Stuff is sick. We noticed a couple of weeks ago that she had stopped bathing. Then on Saturday I had Ma and Sean's fam. over for a new years party and Ma noticed that Black was drooling blood. I took her to the vet on Tuesday. He took one look in her mouth, there is a hugh mass under her tongue, and said it looks like cancer. They are doing a biospy to make sure, but the vet was pretty positive. While she was sedated they said the mass is alot bigger then they originally thought. I won't know until Friday when the results come back. So I will keep you posted.
