My due date is 9/16.
You know the expression "seeing red"? Of course you do, who do I think I'm talking to anyway. Anyway, I find getting hit in the face, especially the nose, causes that to literally happen, along with the overwhelming anger.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

People really need to learn how to tell medical emergency stories with a minimum of trauma.
YES! I was talking to my dad about this, and he said pretty much the same thing about my BiL, that he really needed to start the story by saying "Your daughter is (eta: AND the BABY is) FINE, however...."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also, Sean, my sympathies to your sister. Sorry to make it all memememe. Bell's is no fun.

That would make sense - if blood is surging to your face, wouldn't it surge through your eyeballs as well? Or am I talking out of my behind?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'm primed for having kids, because I now react very calmly to being hit in the face. Hit anywhere, really.

What is even happening?
And your hair is already short enough, so you don't have to deal with the ones who like to pull while nursing, ita.
Lilty, I think I responded to your post in Natter, in this thread. I'm too lazy to move it, though.

Oh, not at all. I figured the sympathies went without saying.

Yeah but that's because you know you can hit back.

When my dad had his bypass, he was originally scheduled for an angioplasty. I found out it was switched to a bypass by my brother calling and saying "Well, we need to remember that this is a routine operation" which made me panic because I didn't need anyone to tell me to remain calm about an angioplasty. Sometimes those "First let me say that everything is fine" stories can be stressful.

Sometimes. The training is supposed to mitigate the sheer shock involved in getting hit -- and making sure your responses are appropriate, not merely dictated by adrenaline.
Sounds perfectly appropriate for getting blindsided by a toddler.

Let me make my sympathy explicit. I had to go look up Bell's palsy first. Scary! I hope she recovers fully.
