So I'm over in the den working--it's Saturday, but everyone's running around and there's no one's around to keep an eye on the dogs, so I'm doing the weekday routine instead--and my sister comes in to make a sandwich before she goes to work. I hear her and Mom discussing--cheese? Swiss cheese? I'm not sure? And then I hear my mother say, "Ohhhhhhh

A] sucktastic luck.
B] lol, laundry. I like how she's all ~omg my finger is going to fall off~ and then just jumps right back to the mundane.

When I was in the middle of labor with my first son, and I do mean the middle, it was 7 p.m. Monday, I'd started at 2 a.m. & he was born at 2 a.m. Tuesday, I looked up between contractions and said "shit! I had library books due today!"

Yeah, I was waiting out in the hall while my sister was in the middle of all that and she asked me if I remembered to lock the doors mid scream.

I hope they can help your sister! However, I love that she called to ask you to put her clothes in the dryer. Makes her sound very 1940's-English. "Right-o, we're being bombed and all that. Tea?"

Oh my Goodness. I'm sending so many good thoughts to her right now. Ugh. And yes, please no Izzie.

If it's any comfort, at this point in the year even interns have had lots of practice and are starting to become pretty seasoned. Also interns are always supervised and for delicate surgeries they don't usually get to do much except close the skin or other less risky parts for the first year.

[katharhino]

Um yes, I was actually squeezing my own fingers together while reading the post. UGH! GAH!

Cleo, really, sympathies to your family and I hope the surgery is as smooth and successful as humanly possible. And good luck with the laundry!
