And now that Cashmere mentioned it, I remembered reading about post-epidural headache.
I did a quick google of "epidural" + "headache" + "delayed" and, just skimming the results, it's not uncommon for a headache to occur this long after an epidural puncture. It's also eminently treatable.
So, fingers crossed.
And 190/100 is high, yes, but it's not out-of-the-ordinary high, if that makes sense.
Okay. Good. I know that mine is always 110/70 and considered normal, but I don't know much about it other than that.
Well, it's not desirable to have 190/100 for weeks on end, but it's also not going to make her brain explode. If that helps.

Oooh! The curtain just went up on "Wicked" in Detroit! My sister's there!
I can't believe I was 2/3 of the way through actually working this out and justifying my choices before I realized how utterly fucking insane it was. Now I've lost 93 seconds of my life I'll never get back, and I'm all distressed and disturbed. Stoopid creepy antipodean actuaries.
Ahh, it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.

Yeah, that's kind of where my mind was going. I guess I was due for a freak-out. It doesn't help that my mom was all panicked on the phone.
Teppy is very calming. I think I might need Teppy during all my freak-outs.
We should make a Teppy doll.

I am human valium. Or, like, one of those noise machines that makes ocean waves sounds -- I'm a human white noise machine!

Heh. Coin-operated Teppy. Wind her up and watch her edit.
I think they are called spinal headaches. I don't know why I know this.

It would be very huggable/kissable.
ER? House?
That is why I know random medical factoids.
