Good Day "51"

Hi to all, hope you are coping with the flooding one way or another.

Still struggling with pain, but only a few more days before the clips are removed and that might help.

Evening Ron--they say the pain is worse than childbirth i tend to believe that dont you.

It got me down a bit Ruth--with our first one the wife started at 1--30am so i went out to phone the ambulance from next door --when it came i got inside with the wife and off we went.

At 2 30am the nurse told me i could go home --i had to walk it --all i had on was a pair of slippers pants and a tee shirt so off i went two miles to get home --in the middle of January.

I had child birthing classes with my hubby and had my son "natural", but we had some problems he wasn't laying in the postion they liked, so with every contraction, they turned him...then they broke my water and bambo..he came out quick.  Thanks to working at the nursing home back then I had kept my weight down really good, those nurses wouldn't let me go over board on anything. They didn't with an gla that worked in the kitchen back then either, she came to work drinking an milk shake, and when she went past the RN...she took it away from herand reminded her to watch her calories. I went in at about 11 in the the night time with contracts ever 5 mins apart, they gave me some pain relief and they stopped until the medicine wore off...so he was finally delivered about 8 pm th efollowing night...and I was up "walking" off the medications...until they were again 5 mins apart. I was one of thier last patients..the only ward plus emergency they had open, as the rest of the hospital moved into their new head quarters..they closed it after I left, so we had the run of the place pretty much while I was there. My doctor on my son's Idenity didn't write: Mother with my name...he wrote ""mommy" instead with my name.  He didn't deliver him either as he'd been called down to Salem for some kind of work for the hospital..he an dhis brother were on the board of the hospital back then. So..my doctor he sent in was named Gerald, my hubby..Jerry was there, My nurse was Geri, and my nurse's aid was an Jeri also....and my "coach"  on the birthing classes was there also.

It si freezing rain right now outside...hope things stay intact. Suppose to be gone by tomarrow, but don't know if the snow will ge gone enough to see the kids in school Monday or not.  I had about an foot of snow on my car, with the three snow squalls..but we were lucky, the snow was tiny flakes or we'd be buried under an large amount of snow by now...I can imagine what Mt. Hood is like, I don' tthink anyone has made it up there since all this started.  Watched the opening games at "sochi" last night with the Olympics. 

Hubby tried out his new snowblower this morning I bought him three years ago, he was going down the sidewalk to beat the band, followed with a 10 foot spray of snow going off to the side...I think he likes it. He played around with it this morning..all you have to do is plug it in and it works... and when he came in I made him an big breakfast. Sister-in- law's birthday is next weekend I am told...so will be shopping this week for that one I guess. Time marches on to Valentine's Day next.

Hi to all POEsters...

My PCS site was attacked recently, sorted now, but if you are one of those who got bombarded with spam that was nothing to do with me, sorry.

Don't undferstand what the perpetrators get out of it, but there you are.
