Painful Rambling

Sitting hurts but I know I have to do it, not to mention I’m having to chase my son around since well… who else is going to do it? So I haven’t really had any rest or pain relief, I am too scared to take my pain killers because what if my son needs me and I’m all drugged up?

Hmm, trying to think of hospital “highlights”

one of the ER doctors was utterly convinced I was doing cocaine
my roommate never ever turned off the damn tv or lights even when the nurses would get on her case, she would just turn everything back on
I did not eat any food and very limited water for around 87 hours before the surgery and really haven’t eaten much after it
in the operating room, they didn’t do the dramatic “now here is the anesthesia, count to 10” instead the last thing that happened was putting on the oxygen mask and hearing the song on the radio, Everytime by Britney Spears
I don’t remember too much from the recovery period except I was screeching “NINE NINE NINE” aka the “pain” level I was having on a scale from 1 – 10, I’m told it’s like the seagulls in finding nemo
hollaring for “HAND HAND” whenever my sister or her boyfriend would drop my hand
wishing that my mp3 player had soothing music instead of perky loud music, not conductive to shutting out the tv and roommate’s very loud snoring

I can’t remember much more lol have to love that morphine!

I am so grateful for the phone calls and comments and just EVERYTHING from everyone, it really helped me a lot.

Personal

Fought for a VBAC and lost
"She proceeded to make the comment “I know the situation, and because of that I’m not feeling sympathetic” in reference to Sarah leaving the hospital AMA and not accepting a repeat c-section previously, and to the massive amounts of pain she was in."
Vent - VBAC Scare Tactics
"He then recanted and said, “well maybe it’s not a law, but I’ll tell you NO hospital will ALLOW you to VBAC without it”. Right ok, so first fear tactic and lie."
I had TWO c-sections
"It’s hard because sometimes I almost feel shame or guilt that BOTH of my c-sections were medically needed."
Who Am I?
"I went from a victim, a weak worthless nothing to a MOTHER. I went from being a punching bag to a protector and then lost myself yet again."

Tweets

@PoorParenting basically homeschooling follows a curriculum and unschooling allows the child to self-learn #

@PoorParenting following her and sent her a ton of DM's lol #

@hearmeoutx public schools place huge emphasis on reading at a specific age. #

@hearmeoutx I really don't hold stock in add or ADHD. He seems to be more of a visual learner, like myself. I'm not worried however #

@hearmeoutx what is IEP and reading wise? He doesn't like to sit still and do it. He would rather be WATCHING a star wars movie than read it #

I would appreciate your feedback on my post about my #unschooling child that wants to try to go back to #publicschool http://bit.ly/d8xdnK #
