Holy Crap!

Let me apologize in advance for the tasteless nature of what is to follow. The ugly truth is, these are the most exciting things i've gone thru today. I considered even not blogging on these topics, but then i wouldn't have much to write about. Please feel free to discontinue reading at any time. Rest assured, i'm censoring myself.

Lets just say that the"Congratulations" i wrote about in a prior post was premature. I've never felt so ridiculous and helpless as i did today, struggling to move things along for almost an hour. To say struggle is a horrible understatement~ I am certain that my child labor wasn't that intense. If i had had stitches in the nether regions this time, they'd have sent me back for repairs. I was sweating, had the shakes and my ears were ringing: i felt like i should have been able to pass out cigars when i was done. Where was my standing ovation? The recognition that i so naiively made fun of, only hours earlier? I felt like i'd laid a watermelon.

Now i'm scared to go back into the bathroom.

Yeah! Thank heavens you "did it" ~ that's another important accomplishment toward getting OUT of there and back home.

OMG, you are so funny - tho I'm sure that wasn't really meant to be funny... I guess this advice may be a bit late, but don't take any iron pills - if they are giving them to you. That advice, by the way, was given to me by a doctor pal, so it's ok. Hang in there - one day closer to normal!
