Yep, they're inducing. Urine tests came back a smidge high, and blood pressure didn't go down sufficiently. Since Joseph is considered full term by now, there's no serious harm in getting him out now, and the doctors were concerned that Wendy's blood pressure might spike again if we just went home ( Read more... )

Doctor's are so..... so..... well..... human. I guess that's the best word to use for it. They come at a situation with such preconceived notions that you'd think they weren't ever trained in analytical thinking. Here's the situation:

When we first talked to the first doctor he said to come in and they'd look at us "just in case" but that we'd ( Read more... )

Wendy wasn't feeling well today, so tonight we went to the hospital to get checked out. The blood work and urine test came back fine, but her blood pressure was high, so we're staying overnight to make sure everything is ok. So much for sleeping. If anything happens, I'll post.

I've got a bit of a... not really a dilemma, but more than just a question. It goes like this ( Read more... )

Today I:

• Massaged my Wendy
  
• Napped

I was going to wake up at 7am, clean the house, write about stuff that happened during the week, pick up the chair we ordered late last year that finally came in, and relax with my hands soaking in hot, salty water until it was time to leave for my neice's dance recital ( Read more... )

I have a muscle on the bottom of my left foot. At least, I think it's a muscle. It could just be a tendon attached to a muscle in my leg. Whatever the thing is, every once in a while it starts to twitch, which feels really weird. It's done that on and off for as long as I can remember. But every time I try to feel it in the act so that I can trace ( Read more... )

The reason I consider sex offender laws unconstitutional, illegal, and downright stupid is because:

1. They remove from a person his or her right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness (see the Bill of Rights)
   
2. They guarantee de facto double jeopardy (see the 5th amendment to the Constitution)
   
3. They make no reasonable distinction between those who will ( Read more... )

When I'm driving to work or back I often think of various things that I want to look up when I get home to my computer. But then I get home and I forget what they were. Very annoying ( Read more... )
