Oh Dana, I second Jesse's suggestion of flat Coca Cola. And I'm not usually a soda drinker, but it's good for the queasy.
so, is it just me or this a little Georgia O'Keefe?
I'm with Sophia. I was going to say a bit more Judy Chicago than O'Keefe because it looks like a uterus to me.
Love the idea of a writing support group. I'd love to start writing again. It's been ages.
As for the sonogram, they are a bit uncanny, especially since head-on they look so much like skulls, but then both my kids ended up looking like their profile scans.
And, because, I'm old, which means they're old, but FUCK, but my father is scheduled for cataract surgery, which means my sister is going to be nursemaiding both parents, and I don't know if I can help all. Or afford to, since I just dropped dosh on the car.
Ugh, ita. About how long will he need to recover from the surgery?

Our hospital does, in addition to the regular sonogram, a 3D image of your child's face. (I don't know how common this is, but I know a few other people who have gotten them.) It's done by taking three images and using them to create a composite. I guess some of them turn out lovely, but ours turned out, well, deeply weird. Like, Uncanny Valley kinds of creepy. (Though M says at least now we know the Sprog looks like Milton Berle.) I don't like to look at it -- it just creeps me out.
I never watch reality TV except when I'm home sick. So far today, Tabatha's Salon Takeover, Supernanny, Big Cat Diary, and Animal Cops.
Go team 9th Circuit Court of Appeals!
Also, goodbye, Karen Handel. Nobody can say you didn't make an impact during your brief tenure, that's for sure.
About how long will he need to recover from the surgery?
10 days. Don't have a date for the surgery yet. But I'm not in a "convenient" place for leaving work, either. Because every little bit helps.
ita, my mom had cataracts removed while my dad was in ICU last spring. It was very simple. She was fine after only 4-5 days, and fit fro travel a week later. The issue was trying to get my stubborn mother to take her eyedrops, which she had to do for a few weeks.
