Heh.
Err. Yeah. That was longer than expected.
Happy FAY DAY!
It's like MAY DAY!
We will dance around you with pretty ribbons and SNOG!
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

[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.

move out and draw fire
especially, it seems, in smaller towns and smaller hospitals
Well, I have to say that I got much MUCH better pre-natal and L&D care here, in a country that's substantially far behind the US in terms of GDP, than I would have in my home town in the States.
But it's money at the root of it all, isn't it? There's no reason for a top-notch doctor to head to my hometown. In fact, it's primarily going to be the folks who graduated last in their class from med school. Heck, my doctor when I lived there was a large animal vet, because she was more competent than the actual doctors.
And I wouldn't have gotten the care I did here without having an insurance carrier that paid for the best care in the nation.

Also, do you have any update on Toto? I saw that he didn't have Cushings (yeah!), but not how things were going since then.
He's doing ok. We've decided to just wait it out before running any more tests. He seems to be doing better, so our latest guess is a really bad virus. But, he's got more energy and spunk again and hasn't had an accident in over a week, so I think that's probably a good guess.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FAY!!!
Also, so sorry for the travel plans mess. What a nightmare!
I have no experience with L&D, but I will say that my favorite OB/GYN was the doctor that delivered me. Of course, he's retired now and lives in the Chicago area, so he won't be delivering any of my babies, but he really was wonderful.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Er, ah, I meant to say Happy Birthday to Fay, back in the day. Sorry.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Many Happy Returns of the Day Pooh Fay!
I'm sorry for the asshattedness of your employers and hope all is resolved without loss of (your) pounds, (or anyone else's) life or limb.

Yes, unfortunately. For some reason I was awakened every hour last night, until finally both evil babies woke up at 6:30 and I had to get up so Greg could get ready for work. I don't WANT to be up yet.
I've been having b.org connectivity problems for a couple of days now. My posts don't go through, pages won't load... it's very annoying.
