Blog jammed

I have to admit, I knew I had a few loyal followers (I can count them on one hand) and I thought what a cool journal I can look back on, but I’m realizing that a few more of y’all are reading it (and they are friends/co-workers of Will – you know the former English teacher and overall grammer (I know its grammar) king!). I’m now getting nervous and realize that my grammar and spelling are horrible. Who knew the pressures of a blog! I swear the added stress made me have a dream last night that I was back at work at Brackenridge. Dr N and Dr T (former MDs who will remain nameless) were running the board, it was crazy busy and I had JonBenet Ramsey? (hello?) as a terminal cancer patient (I worked in Labor and Delivery). I promise, I just took a benadryl last night. Or maybe it was the new restaurant next door. It’s Italian and the wine is cheap – well, as long as it is made in China. You’ll never guess the name of the wine – “Dynasty” - very original I thought….you know, not as in Linda Evans or Larry Hagman (wait that’s Dallas), but as in Ming and Qing.

Now to the boring part of my day – as the newest member of the Tai Tai’s For Life club (hereafter known as TTFL), I was invited to Sarah’s (6 ft blond Texan) OB/GYN appointment (I mean what else do we have to do today). Being the Labor and Delivery nurse that I am, I quizzed the MD (I never would do that back in the Austin!?) on her delivery procedures – how long would you let her push, when can she get an epidural (*if* she wants one), does she prefer to use vacuum or forceps, does she cut a you know what you know where…I wanted to ask where this MD did her residency, but hey, I thought I’d give her a break. Overall, I really liked her. We were then wisked back to pick up Sarah’s husband (oh yeah, we had the driver today), had lunch and I was conveniently dropped back off at my hotel.
