Can she maybe just go "visit" the hospital coffee shop for a while? And if there are problems she's already there?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Connie, that sounds like a good idea to me.

Oh my word, sj. How upsetting for her. My sister was late in a single child pregnancy during a blizzard and we watched her like mad. She said she hoped to go to the hospital on a snowmobile, but I imagine if she really had to she would have felt differently. I hope she is able to stay comfortable and safe through the storm.

It's just craziness to me. They checked her a week ago and at the time they estimate the twins were 6 lbs each. Just take them already.

ION, they have officially closed down the town TCG's works for tomorrow! So, I don't have to worry about him driving to work and home in a blizzard.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
oh, sj, much ~ma for your friend! The hospital knows there's a big storm coming, right? Just get them out. Scary. I hope she and the babies will be all right despite the hospital's douchefuckery.

The hospital said if they did the c-section now it would be considered "elective surgery" which is their way of saying her insurance won't cover it.

Insurance companies are of the devil, but I see where they're coming from. Insurance trolls don't recognize extenuating circumstances.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I made an appointment with my rheumatologist for next Monday. That was the earliest he had available. Which means I need to get through two days of standing and teaching, one day of sitting at home, one day of giving a quiz, and then two weekend days, before I can see him. I think I can manage that. (I'm pretty certain that I need a short course of prednisone. And I'm also pretty certain that, if I tell this doctor that, in a similar situation, my doctor in DC gave me prednisone, then he'll probably prescribe it -- he doesn't really know much about EDS, and usually seems relieved when I tell him what my doctor in DC did.)
