We won't even discuss my labor because it still is too damn terrifying to mention. And for the record, the only person I wanted to kiss was the nice anaesthesiologist who gave me the spinal block. I think I actually pointed out how much I loved him. And given his response of patting me on the head like a puppy, I'm sure I was not the first woman in labor who said that.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

They gave the dog an epidural for her amputation. I'd never heard of it in a non-childbirth context.

“Not dead yet!”
I liked the Nubain I got with Sara. Very trippy.
Well, I'm the world's biggest lightweight. Half a dose of antihistamine and I'm just this side of a drooling idiot, so you can imagine what I experienced on Demerol. You want to talk trippy? I had a cadre of these floating around my head about five minutes after the pumped the drug into my IV.
Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE Beanie Babies?

Because books.
Oh dear, Barb.
Yeah, I think anesthesiologists must get a lot of marriage proposals. I know when mine finally showed up when I was in labor with Ben, I promised he could *have* Ben if he would just shoot me up.
I think anytime they want to do a localized surgery and feel it's better not to have the patient completely out, they can use epidurals, brenda. But yeah, it seems to be mostly a childbirth thing.

Enh. No worries, Sparky. It will all be good.
I should shower and then go to bob's to treat myself to an omelet.
I am remarkably UNinspired today.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sparky, it'll be fine!
My experiences weren't perfect but the results cannot be argued with, so they're both wins in my book. I love the fact that women feel they can get back in touch with and not fear childbirth. But orgasmic isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did I mention here that my husband nearly fainted during the amnio?
