Oh! Poor SIL. That totally blows.
Yes, lisa, it pulls out, but like twice and then you have to lift up. The CNA came in and did it for me. Plus is going to get linens and a cup so I can give Grace her final dinner.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

That sucks, slayeroshadow. I'm glad she wasn't hurt, but still.

That sounds like the exact same bed chair! I never could get it exactly right. But it was shockingly fairly comfortable.

And what's with all the carrots?
I'm glad she wasn't hurt, but still.
Considering she's worked in sports bars her entire adult life she knows how to handle herself. There's nothing quite worse than feeling powerless. I realize it's a full moon, but robbing someone during Christmas week is just cruel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In better news. I have a cute, freshly-bathed and blown-dry puppy in my lap.

Trust my rage
I had anesthesia when I had my D&C several years ago, pre-Ellie. When they knocked me out, I was very cold and scared and shaking and I woke up crying, which I remember, and the nurse was very quick with the Demerol. Which put me in the most relaxed state ever. I have this very clear memory of saying goodbye to that baby and telling him that I wouldn't forget him. Logically, I know that the emotional intensity I felt was related to the drugs, but it went a long way in giving me closure on that whole experience.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Oh, man. A St. Jude's commercial just sent me into a total cry fest. Their tag line was something about being thankful for having healthy kids.
While my kids didn't go through St. Jude's, they both went through major medical stuff when they were small. Things that our fabulous doctors recognized and got successful treatments underway quickly. Not a day goes by where I don't think about it even though most days it is just a passing thought. But I clearly remember the days where that was the only thought.
Anyway, I fell apart. Poor CJ didn't know what had set me off and it was so hard to explain to him. I want to hug the stuffings out of both of them, but I'm afraid I'd scare them.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Suzi, that commercial makes me teary too. I called my younger nephew to wish him a happy sixth birthday the other day, and I am eternally grateful to the doctors who did such an amazing job on his heart surgeries and that he is happy and healthy today.
