OK, Jilbur, that does it. I was going to comment on your entry, but since you are being sooooo petty, I am just going to make it into a post! Humph. I am very glad indeed to hear that Mir is chipper. I did let her know before her operation that I felt much better than I ever believed possible after each of my c-sections, and that her fears were probably worse than the reality. Having said that, heed my warning: do not stretch out the intervals between pain medication dosages. Payback is a bitch. Reading Jilbur's comment about Mir being out of bed already, I remembered all the cruel feats...
If this were my blog, I'd go on a rant about the incredibly annoying day I've just finished up on, but as I am supposed to be on my best behavior, I'll just say that here is the info that I would have posted three hours ago if I didn't instead have to play a maddening game of "Hurry Up And Wait" with my beloved, frequently enriched-by-me Firestone dealership: At about 3PM EST, I phoned Mir in her room and let me tell you, I was shocked, just shocked. She sounded ... GREAT! I haven't been this surprised since after labor when they put my baby on my belly, and it actually looked like a baby...
Pant, pant... I am here at last, and as usual, Jilbur is a bit quicker than I am. Curse you and your New England ways!! I am soooo relieved to hear that Mir has come though OK, and that she so far does not appear to have a wrench or anything else left behind where it doesn't belong. We can only hope that her doctors read this article as well before starting in on her...
I just got off the phone with the lead nurse on Mir's floor: she's in her room, sleeping. So--that's the end of Chapter 1 in the gripping saga, How I Went To The Hospital and All My Neurotic Friends Showed Me How Much They Love Me.
Jilbur here with the first Mir status update! I got antsy and didn't wait for the email Mir told me expect, and yes, you can expect me to be that kind of guest blogger ... Anyway, I phoned the hospital myself, and as of now (around 3PM EST) she's still in recovery--but I'll follow up within the next hour or two to report that she's safely in her room! And! Nothing very entertaining! on this! guest blog entry! But stay tuned! I'd like Mindy and me to be able to truthfully say that we drove Mir's stats up while she was gone, because I'm certain that any increase in traffic will stay with her...
