'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Liese, those photos are AMAZING. I cannot get over the clarity you get of the moon itself. And a camera phone. COOL.
I'm getting antsy. Grace went in at 8:40. We didn't ask how long it would take, and I wish we had, but knowing how long they might take won't change how long it will take.
Fantastic photos, Liese.
Kat, I remember how stressful it was when Emmett went in for routine surgery to fix his broken nose. Just try to breathe and "maintain an even strain" as the aviators like to say.
Good wishes Gracie!
I am still sick. This bites. Especially since I am in the office, coughing and sneezing and all. My throat is sore partly because of all the coughing. Bah.
Very cool pics, Liese.
Agree with David. Mac's leg surgery was like 4-5 hours and I went from zen to crazy spastic mama back to near zen when the finally came and got me to meet him in recovery.
Waiting through surgery is the Big Unfun. Deep breaths, Kat. And maybe some tea.
But it's not like this is Grace's first surgery. Or even Grace's first iteration of THIS surgery.
The Childlife person brought her a toy to play with and the nurse brought her a bear in scrubs so Grace could see eveyrthing they were doing -- like taking vitals. Super cute and sweet.
Sigh.
I've already had 32 ounces of tropical passion iced tea!
Kat, I can't even count how many surgeries my mom has had at this point (I'm not sure she can either, honestly), and it sucks just as hard every time. Go easy on yourself, lady.
I cannot get over the clarity you get of the moon itself. And a camera phone.
I KNOW! I cannot wait to get the camera kit so I don't have to futz around so much. The manual says this isn't a great scope for photography and I'm all, uhh...
Aww, cutie bear in scrubs. Yeah, I know what you mean about the time, though. It's a way of managing your fear; okay, by now I should be panicked about X. Now I should be panicked about Y. But you're right that knowing the predicted time would probably have no bearing on the actual time.
right, you know this routine already, sorry I really wasn't thinking. I am so glad the staff is good, that makes a huge difference on the experience.
Nah, msbelle. It's more like I SHOULD be used to it by now.
Suzi, when you used A&I for your mom's book, did you download the software? I MEAN REALLY? It's taking forever!
