Should update this thing more often, perferably with good news. But it seems all I have lately is the other kind. Update time
We went on vacation in Alabama the second week in March. It was okay. Before we left though my dog had a limp in her leg so we took her to the vet and they told us she had sprained her leg and had a bladder infection so we left her at the kennel where they gave her the meds and everything was cool. when we got back, her limp was worse so I took her back to the vet and they did X rays only to find out that she has/had osteoscarcoma or bone cancer and a tumor in her leg, hence the limp.
My options from there were to amputate the leg which was pointless since the cancer was advanced and already in her lungs, take some pain meds or put her down. Since dad was still on vacation I took the medication but as soon as he got home we decided that it was in her best intrest to put her out of her misery. So last Tuesday we put Lilly to sleep. Im alright, I bounce back and forth really from being okay and not being okay with it, and I know shes not in pain so thats the good news.
I keep looking at other dogs on the internet and I visit local shelters when I get a chance. I think what I will do is wait till this summer when Im back volunteering at the shelter and talk my parents into a puppy up there. Its not time for puppies to be born or weened yet. This is a late summer type thing.
Soon after that we found out that my dad's mom has stage IV terminal cancer. She had a pain in her side and went to the doctor and the cancer is in her lung liver breast brain and a bunch of other places. They say she has 6 months with kemo which she took but I dont think she will be on it for long. Casey came into town for this week and thats a big help for us. I know shes going to die and soon so besides going over there to say the standard I love you and stuff I honestly cant think of anything to say to her. We were never really close but its still hard you know?
Ontop of that Grandpa has decided to be an ass. Now I know this is hard, I understand but there is no reason for him to act this way. She was invited to come with us to Easter dinner on Easter and she said she would since it would be her last easter. So dickhead goes fishing and comes back, she has showered and layed her clothes out all ready to go and he decides that she isnt well enough to join us and throws a bitch fit. So they didnt end up comming. HOWEVER she is well enough to get out of bed and type up his newsletter for his band.
I think hes lost his mind and I think I will be joining him soon enough. Im seeing a counsler on Thursday just to vent about some of my issues. Ive never had so many issues!!
Con time is soon. This is good news for me. First up is anime STL. YAY!!!!! Im taking a newb with me which will be fun and I have people staying with me. Yay!!!! However now my boss is all like "three people are asking off for that weekend I dont know if I can do that" Im going to talk to him Friday and make sure we are covered. I hope its going to be okay.
ACEN - I want to fly to ACEN. Seriously its like a 45 minute flight time? This is awesome and for about 170 dollars round trip I think its a good deal. The only issue I dont want to fly by myself. So Im wondering if any con friends from the St. Louis area would want to fly up to Chicago with me on Thursday May 13. If your intrested please shoot me an email or IM and I'll get on that but I want to be buying tickets by Monday at the latest.
Thats all Ive got. Resume your livejournal reading now :)
