sj, I am so sorry, honey. Also, if you want to get away, I have a guest room and an housekeeper, so my place will actually be clean ;) Not a lot to do in Hartford, but sometimes a change of scenery is nice.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Confusing. And heartrending, of course. If you need anything besides vibes, don't be afraid to ask.

Thanks, Vortex that's sweet. TCG has been taking so much PTO for appointments, and he's slammed at work right now,so I don't see us taking a vacation anytime soon. We may go down to Cape Cod in August if Mom lets us use the timeshare.

Can someone go beat up the people who keep telling me that it is better to find out now that there is something wrong? I find it a highly insensitive thing to say to someone with a disability.

Oh sj! I am so sorry you have to deal with the clueless.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj, some people are so callous. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so very sorry, sj. All my love and prayers to you and TCG and the little one, whatever the outcome, and, God, how completely awful about the back-and-forth with the NP and your doctor and how badly she mishandled communication with you.
I will happily beat up for you any and all thoughtless people who warrant it; just point me in the right direction.

On one hand I get it, much like when people wish for the 10 fingers and toes, or "as long as it's healthy," But, yes, that shit makes me uncomfortable too. And I once caught hell from the outlawa because they were worried that baby M wasn't doing as they expected and I said "Well, maybe she has a disability.(She's fine.) But I wasn't aware that what they heard was that she wasn't a keeper and they might have to throw her back. They *freaked* pf course there is a lot of disability in my family and...less visible ones in theirs. But they had, like, ten grandkids, although that might have been an insensitive time to play the odds, hindsight tells me.

But, you know, my parents were right to worry. So my default is never "Don't be ridiculous.(and early intervention could be important) It happens. Am I recruiting? Fuck no. But there are as many things I love about life as I hate.
