Jun. 17th, 2011 04:24 pmJenny just found out that she has endometriosis, and apparently it's pretty severe. Not insanely bad, but nowhere near mild. She found out yesterday when she went to a new doctor, because she's been having really bad pains. I'm not sure how her old doctor missed it, because this one said it's pretty bad. Maybe she didn't have it before? Or maybe her old doctor just sucked. I don't know. I have no idea how that works. I know what endometriosis is, but I don't really know very much about it. I need to read up on it.
She asked if the miscarriages she's had could be related to the endometriosis, and the doctor said it might have had something to do with it. She's going to try some type of hormone treatment, so hopefully that will work. But her doctor said there's a good chance she'll need surgery, since it's pretty bad. So we'll see. Hopefully that won't be the case though.
We have talked about trying to have another baby, so I hope whatever treatment she has to do will help with that. The last miscarriage was pretty hard to deal with...especially for her. I think miscarriages are pretty difficult to deal with in general, but the fact that she was almost 15 weeks along made it even harder. I don't really want to go through that again, and I REALLY don't want her to have to go through that again. She took it really hard, and it was pretty traumatizing for her.
Now for some happier stuff...
We're having a joint Father's Day/Jenny's birthday BBQ on Sunday. I'm glad B is going to be there, rather than going to his parents' house for Father's Day. But then again, it's not exactly surprising that he's not going there, because he hates his dad. His dad is an asshole. Regardless of the reason, it will be fun to have him here. It really is like having a little brother. He has already kinda become part of the family. It's pretty cool. He has been doing everything he's supposed to be doing and more. He helps around the house a ton. He does WAY more than I would ever ask him to do. I guess I can't complain about that though...less for me to do haha.
