Hi all! I know I’ve been MIA again. Been reading before bed. Started reading parts of the Bible just because I never really have read it and I own a nice leather-bound version that I can easily fit in my purse. It sleeted here today even though it was 40 degrees. All the flowers are up and bloomed and a week ago all the trees suddenly bloomed in beautiful white purple and pink! I spent 24 hours with my friend Caleb whom I hadn’t seen in a year last Wednesday/Thursday. We ate ate at Texas Roadhouse and just hung out. Friday I saw a substitute OB/GYN for bleeding that wasn’t related to pregnancy- I have my tubes occluded- or a full- on period. She did a biopsy of the lining of the uterus which hurt like a ******!!! She commented on how “stoic” I was during the whole procedure . True I just lay there and didn’t make a peep. All the while I felt like someone. Was twisting many small pointy electrified sharp knives and twisting them like a fork twists spaghetti! Just goes to show that an outward calm appearance does NOT mean the patient isn’t feeling pain! This goes double for babies who can’t localize pain feeling as if their whole body is being assaulted. And who feel pain much more acutely than adults do who can rationalize the pain “away”. Case in point: newborn circumcision.
