It looks like we have a good morning here! a new BYC baby! Blooie it sounds like a shower chair may be needed in your future to make things easier to at least transition in and out of a shower or tub. Dive my mom was VERY upset at me when I was being born I was breach and my mom had to have me "extracted" also. At the time if a woman had 1 the next births were c-sections too, so she blames me for 3! I told her I did not ask to be born, or ask for siblings or cause her to get pregnant but somehow it is my fault.

Thank you all..umm..three

Make that 4!!! Guess I should have gotten on when I got up at 6:20, I could have been eating popcorn with the insomniacs!

9 lbs. 2 oz.

OUCH!

Congrats to the parents and grandparents!

It's disappointing enough thinking all this time that we are going to have this baby natural. Then, to be told last min. sorry,

Neither of ours were planned inducement.

Worst burn I ever got was from my brother.

Oh my! I wouldn't have guessed a pot pie could cause so much damage. But I guess if it glued itself to your skin it had plenty of time.

I told her I did not ask to be born, or ask for siblings or cause her to get pregnant but somehow it is my fault.

That is highly unfair. But you know you were not at all responsible!
How are you feeling, any improvement?

I never blamed my son for my caesarian but my mother was furious about my doctor. She said if he was any good he would have turned the baby. I told her I had a high risk pregnancy being 38 and this being a first child. Plus I had bleeding through the first trimester and was scared too death I would miscarry.

feeling some better, but hopefully I will get everything straightened out when I get ins. in Jan. I apparently positioned so I could not be turned had my legs braced on either side so the doc couldn't do much. but also I think my mom's attitude was in part influenced by her siblings and parents. She married 3 months after meeting my dad and I was born 9 months after the wedding. they hated the fact she married and blamed me for her staying married since they did not believe in divorce esp. since there was a child involved and they didn't want to help raise me if they divorced (yea I have a "loving" family). I was named after her father and he had a very unusual name. Family hates that I have not used it since high school, refuse to call me by my middle name. One uncle makes an donkey of himself and my mom's oldest sister told me he only does that because I was born before his son and he couldn't use the name. first time I ever heard of someone being named 9 years before they where born and 8 years before the parents met (cousin is 9 years OLDER than me).....

@oldrooster But don’t you still have to get into the tub to get into the shower chair? I have one out in the garage, packed away with the wheelchair I refuse to use.

Guess I’m pretty blessed with the family I have, pot pie attack notwithstanding.

@bruceha2000 Sorry, doesn’t count. Ya had to be IN the waiting room with Cynthia, holding her hand, mopping her brow and murmuring “There, there dear.” And you can be a cyber-auntie if you want, but “Auntie Bruce “ sounds just a little silly.

Yeah, that steaming hot pot pie clung pretty good and didn’t respond much to the “Oh, my God, Ronnie, get it off me get it off me” dance I was doing.

I was making fudge once (teenager) wanted to test if it was cool enough to cut. So I stuck my pinky finger in that. Yikes, such pain and the fudge stuck to it, wouldn't rinse off. Got a really nice blister from it. Also learned NEVER to do THAT again!!

Hot sugar is the napalm of the kitchen! It sticks and burns for a long time

And reading, and eating, and....just about everything, I guess. Know what I really want? A hot shower! Even better, a long, soaking bath or time in our hot tub. But the tub is high, and I can’t lift my legs over it to get a bath or a shower without Ken’s help, and he’s gone again. Hot tub is drained and blown out for the winter but I couldn’t get into it by myself either anyway so it’s moot point.

Once when Linda was so sick she said to me, “Do you know what 10 minutes of self pity gets you? It gets you 10 minutes of focusing on your problems. Most of the time you can sort your mind out in that time and be done with it. But do you know what 10 additional minutes of self-pity gets you? It gets you 10 extra minutes of pity you wasted on the wrong person when someone else may need your 10 minutes of sympathy more.” Shoot, I didn’t listen very well....I’m already into 45 minutes with no end in sight!

It has been long enough, get one of those mama heating pads and use them for their original purpose! The heat helps heal the disk by increasing blood flow. Alternating heat and cold can help if there is swelling from the heat.

Heating pads made my back feel a lot better
