Anyway I have mixed feelings about the whole hospital visit - while they did technically save my life, it took them about 9 hours to figure out what was wrong with me before surgery, and my GOD the sonogram lady was bitchy about being called in at 3 am. When I told Peach that he said I should've said "Geez I'm so _sorry_, next time I'll try to DIE at a more convenient hour." :) Anyway the lady in the ambulance had already called ectopic pregnancy while they were loading me up. I wonder if they have a private pool & someone calls the next day to find out who was right.
I've heard from a few friends that the St Albans hospital really has it together, and being a non-teaching hospital has more actual staff on hand. I wasn't really shopping for medical options at the time though. "Yes, I'd like to see your quote and that of a few competitors.. what? This isn't Geiko?" Still I am not dead, so FAHC did alright in my book. Well, specifically the xray guy, the first doctor, and the surgeon. Some of the other folks over there I am neutral on, and that ultrasound tech gets an F for bedside manner. Plus, we have decided that passing out = hospital right away, just for future reference.
So I've been gimping around for a week and a half, with little cuts and huge bruises that are starting to be tender now, where they weren't really before. Mama came up last week & cleaned *everything*, then left because I was getting too mouthy. :) (Oh Mama that bread mix rose fine with new yeast, so I think it was just old and Amazon or their vendor did us a disservice sending us aged Hodgeson Mills products.) I thought I'd spare you the photograph I have of my internal organs, unless I get some requests. Instead, here is a picture of our other demon child - Balthazar. :)
(one of these things is not where it should be)

Caitlin,
I'm so glad you are well and chipper-ish and back on the air-waves. Or, cable-waves.
We're really looking forward to coming up! As of tomorrow around 5 Alexe and I will be unemployed, and ready to escape all major metropolis-es for the untrafficed dirt roads and cool woods of VT.
Yay!
Big, gentle hug.
Well, you know what I think: the picture of your internal bits is way cool, and you should post it!
JimE.
where's the new post??? I'm so out of the loop!!!
