ION, I am utterly dooomed. Beyond hope. I met AS face to face for the first time two days ago, and I can't believe how right this is feeling.
Yay!!! You smut, you.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Erin!
It makes me really sad when I hear horror stories about hospital births.
Yeah, me too. And I've heard some nasty ones, including from people who've worked them. OB care in this country is, in many ways, still in the dark ages, and there's a lot of crap in a lot of hospitals that simply doesn't need to happen. The teaching hospital I went to just happens to be pretty progressive on a lot of issues. Like letting a laboring woman eat, drink, and move.
None of which, you'd think, would be things that should be considered progressive instead of common sense, and all of which helped me a lot. Between tradition-bound OBs and malpractice fears, there's a lot of CYA stuff that happens, most of which hasn't been proven to improve outcomes. Makes me sad, but it's just part of the way medicine is practiced in the US in a lot of ways. Hell, that's one of the reasons my mother got out of it.
(Well, after 4pm, being allowed to eat didn't help. I did have them add the superdigesto quick stuff that's used in case of emergency section to clear your stomach to my drip when the unsatisfying Snickers was upsetting said stomach and I was unable to puke and it was making me miserable. But drinking as much watered down juice as I wanted really kept my energy up, and I think I ate the cold roll from my room meal, which was delivered an hour and a half before I did, almost as soon as I was done with that whole birthing thing.)
Being present as a caretaker during such a profound event is a privilege, and that part of it shouldn't ever be forgotten by MDs or RNs or anyone else, no matter how complicated the medical situation is.
Amen.

I wonder if Jilli will let me borrow a hatpin so I can poke my eyes out with it?
Er, no, because I'd like you to have working eyes. I'm kinda odd that way.

Durn it all.
I saw a preview for The Corpse Bride last night. I think Joe and I are going to make a date of it next weekend and go.
