Precious Jackson

Last week I took my cat to the vet, because he just wasn't acting right. They brushed it off as an infection, and sent him home with antibiotics. After the 7 days of forcing him to take the pills, he still wasn't any better. So, off to the vet yet again we go. Only this time, I had no idea I would be leaving without him. After numerous testing and blood work, we finally got a diagnosis. Bone cancer. Ugh! His temperature was 104.8, and you could feel the heat radiating from his head and ears. Poor baby was hurting, and I knew it. What else was there to do? No cure for cancer, it was in his bones and spreading rapidly... So it came down to 2 choices. Let him suffer until he dies on his own, or have him euthanized. I chose the latter. My poor baby Jack was only 3 1/2 years old. Such a good boy.

Details

So I finally found out was is wrong with my foot. Foot drop, or drop foot, or some crap like that. Basically, a nerve on the top of my foot is paralyzed. Yep, NOT WORKING! So, that is why I can't bend my foot up and I walk like a gimp. Joy! So, next step is to have more testing done to figure out why I have it. It's not a diagnosis, but a symptom of some underlying issue. So either I'm just a freak of nature, have a wigged out nerve somewhere behind my knee, MS, or my favorite, Lou Gehrig's disease. What fun. On a side note, my headlight was only $226 to get fixed, not the $235 I predicted. Hey, 9 bucks is 9 bucks!

Life's Happenings

Just jotting down a few updates on what's been going on lately.
I think my foot should be amputated. For the last week or so, it's been hurting like a bitch on the top right where the foot meets the leg. Ankle pain I could understand, but what the hell is this? I can't bend my toes much at all. It doesn't cause pain to try it, but there is just no strength to do it. Weird indeed.
It's currently that time of the month... ya know, that female thing. Why is it that we just can't be miserable with the issue alone? Noooo, we have to have doubling over cramps to go with it. Midol just doesn't cut it anymore. Blah to the gazillionth power!
I finally got my car back up to par. It's needed some work for awhile that I've just neglected. But now, about $400 later, I'm good to go. Well, except for the headlight that needs new wiring. There goes another $235 tomorrow when I take it to the shop. Joy joy.

Greenpan

You probably know by now I am the QUEEN of infomercials. Yep, I'm a avid buyer of tv products. So this time, I've got to tell you about the Greenpan. Nothing sticks to them, and they just rock! They can go up to 800 degrees, unlike those other non-stick that start to breakdown at 500. Yep, I recommend them. LOVE my Greenpans!

Seven Mary Three

And if I stay lucky then my tongue will stay tied,
and I won't betray the things that I hide.
There's not enough years underneath this belt,
for me to admit the way that I felt.

When I get married...

This is the ring I want

Consult

I finally called a plastic surgeon, and scheduled my consult for April 16! Woohoo! I've chosen Dr. Bergman in Carmel, Indiana. There's gonna be a lot of nipping and tucking going on soon. Believe me, if you lost 165 lbs, you'd go under the knife too. I'm gonna be a hot bitch!
