And speaking of things that suck

Leaving Post Office after standing in line that didn't move for ten minutes:

Moon: We're leaving?
Me: Yes. The line isn't moving at all.
Peanut: We're not going to go here?
Me: No. The baby is heavy and I don't want to wait any more. There's a really long line and only one person working.
Peanut: Yeah. Their service sucks.

Our medical system really does suck

D. had a minor medical procedure today to prevent any chance of future pregnancies. For this, I am eternally grateful. The entire thing lasted less than two hours, and he has a 2 cm. incision on his balls.

The doctor sent him home with instructions to rest for at least the next 24 hours and a prescription for Vicodin.


Less than three weeks ago, I expelled a living, breathing, eight pound human being from my womb. Labor lasted about six hours and ultimately resulted in my being torn open from my urethra to my anus. I basically had a massive, hemhorraging vaganus.

My discharge instructions were to resume normal activity as tolerated, and take 400 mg of Motrin every four hours for pain.

2 cm. nut cut = Vicodin
4 in. vaganus = Motrin

Our medical system sucks.
