Pets and Rot Gut

Yep. You heard me right. Actually, this is Rot Gut, my Brother-in-Law's band and the dude with the hair is from Crossing the Event Horizon.

I do not like Death Metal, but I support my family. I'm sweet like that.

More Pictures....

Since a few people have asked to see more pictures, here they are. If anyone has tips on how to better use the Digital Canon Rebel Xti feel free to share them!

For Boiler's Review

Just pictures I want Boiler to look at since we were talking cameras. These are the ones that I have taken that I like the best. It wouldn't let me load any more than four:

For Feenicks...

Yes, they usually are more pear-shaped. However, mine was so small that the fundus (the top of the uterus) was really no bigger than the cervix (the bottom part). I wish I had the picture of my husband holding his two fingers up beside it, so you could see that it was so small. That effer was so small, but what a bitch. Since it was so small, the fundus was no bigger than the cervix.

But, you can see the needle holders beside it, and needle holders are no bigger than a pair of scissors that you cut paper with, so that should tell you how small it was.

But that effer was a sumbitch.

And yes, it does look slightly apologetic, but not enough for me to forgive it for about 9 years of hell and surgery after surgery.

Effer.

Usally, the fundus is rounder and bigger than the cervix. But, can you believe a baby is supposed to come out of the bottom of that thing? Um. No.

Show and Tell

This is not for the squeamish, but you may find it good for the weight loss journey.

My husband works in the Operating Room and was allowed in the room during my surgery. When they took out the offending uterus, he held it oh-so-tenderly, wiped it off, and proceeded to take pictures with his camera phone and send photo messages to all of my friends and family members.



As you can see, it was not very big, because that is a pair of needle holders right beside it. You can also see that my right fallopian tube was, in fact, missing.

So. There that little son of a bitch is. He even looks evil, doesn't he?

An Addendum....

...to my recent post. I will try to stay OP during breakfast and lunch in Arkansas. We will go to the store and I will get sensible things to eat for those two meals.

Dinner? Not even gonna lie. It's gonna be a pork fest. Hey. We go once a year, if that. And say no to my Mother-in-Law's food? Um. No.

Nothing to Blog About

Yet Hope is stalking me and wants this updated PRONTO.

Let's see. I've been at home for 2 weeks and I've pretty much been busy every day. If I don't actually have work to do I will create it so then I have something to do.

I'm really bored and I want to run really bad. But I can't. I've been walking and I did 5K yesterday on steep incline. I really should be tanning ("should"?) but I don't feel like it. I'm white as a sheet, bloated, and jiggly. Sexaaaaaaaay.

I've been recording oodles and oodles of movies on the Sundance Channel. I love that channel and I am weird in that I like movies with subtitles. Don't know why, I just do.

I've been playing a lot of Rock Band too. I really did think that I was a guitar girl...at least in Michigan I was on guitar. But here, at home, I am the drum girl. I actually think I like drums better. I am the Dave Grohl of Rock Band, I guess. When I am in Nirvana I play drums. When I am in the Foo Fighters I play guitar.

I was the singer on Friday night when Reggie and Greg were here. We ordered another guitar so someone can play bass and we will have a full band. Yes, we are adults. Shut up. It's fun.

I can sing a mean Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Wait....they don't love you like I love you.....wait....they don't love you like I love you.....

We're going to see Dave Matthews Band on Thursday night in Virginia Beach. Then we leave on Friday morning to spend a week in Arkansas with hubby's parents. Wow. A whole week of REALLY GOOD HOMEMADE FOOD after a MONTH of not really working out. Awesome. And there is no, "Don't eat it, or don't eat a lot, or just stay OP". Come on people. Let's be realistic for once.

At least they have a treadmill I can walk on. I hate walking now. I tried to bamboozle my doctor on the phone the other day and said, "I've been walking like you said I could....and doing really well....I feel like I could just go ahead and run a little..." and she was all like, "NO". Stupid doctors and their stupid medical advice.

Turns out I didn't just have Endometriosis. After the patho report I have been told that I had fibroids and Adenomyosis. The only treatment is a hysterectomy. Weird that I never knew I had Adenomyosis until after I had the hysterectomy, huh?

Buns got her hysterectomy today. Poor baby. I miss her. I will be so glad to go pick her up in the morning. Guess we'll be laid up together. Can dogs take Lortab?

She was supposed to be fixed on August 18, but she went into heat. I was holding her in my lap, then put her down....and saw blood, and ripped my pants off in the middle of the living room thinking I was bleeding. Bleeding after my surgery is BAD...so I got scared. Good thing the blinds were closed and I was home alone, huh?

So, she was bleeding all over everything and my hubby went and bought preemie diapers for her. They didn't fit well unless we used duct tape. She could still get them off. So, he went and bought the next size of diapers. Poor thing couldn't walk right and when she laid on her side her leg was all cocked up in the air because the diapers were all bunched up in her little pup crotch.

So, he bought her some Bitch Britches from Petsmart the next day. Should have done that first but we don't have a Petsmart in my neck of the woods.

She has been wearing Bitch Britches ever since Friday. It's hilarious and she looks like a little monkey wearing them.

When I took her to the vet this morning, she was shaking. I hate that. I took her stuffed hedgehog with her and kissed her thousands of times before I left. I want to go get her NOW!!!!!

Okay...well, those are my thoughts for today. Happy Hope? LOL.
