Aaaaalright. Time to spit up. I've posted nothing in ages 'cause I've been busy off-home. First, my kiddie was born with a useless portion of small bowel ("intestinal atresia" in med talk), wich had to be removed so her digestive system will work properly (no getting scared here: it's actually a common birth complication, and that kind of surgery has quite become routine), so Mom & Dad have been going to the hospital. Meanwhile, little Ms. Doctor was born in a "composite posture", in English, with her little hands covering her little face. She had no joint injury, but her position plus natural birth gave my wife a vulvo-vaginal tearup. My older girl had an important blood loss and over a dozen stitches, and was discharged Monday morning (almost exactly 36 hours after delivery). She managed to pull the "supermom" stuff off for the first three days of visits to the newborn unit, but got into real pain downstairs on Thursday. We went to our physician after visiting our baby, and... 2 stitches had been released, and she had a hematoma inside her vagina. As of then, she had a terminant order of bedrest until wednesday (Sept 8th. She's healing like the Orient Express now that she's resting, thanks Big Guy!), and I've been to the hospital alone since. After each visit I stopped by her place (good thing we haven't moved together yet!) for the med report and some hubby/wifey time. Then, back home... to work. Yesterday, just back from playing with our quickly-healing baby, I went for an envelope of yogurt culture, which I was out of. Stepping out the office-store, I twisted my ankle in the stupidest way possible... the first occasion in YEARS that I'm walking calm and slow (yes, yes, no more slowy calmy walky
ever again
). I limped to her place, had lunch (thanks Mrs. In-law) and fell asleep on her bed (this was around 2 pm). Then I woke up around 8, and was unable to stand up. Called my mom, went with her to the hospital where she works, had an X-ray, the diagnosis (strained ankle), and two days of
bedrest as part of the recipe. Got home just 13 hours ago, and I'm already bored to death. Go figure. Well, this was my weekly report.
