Monday, January 7, 2008

What is it with the medical system here? I know I’m spoiled at our little clinic in Oklahoma City, but I didn’t realize just how good we had it. For a blood test, all I needed to do was show up, greet all the friendly staff, and chat in the waiting room with another Resolve gal until I skipped into a room where one of the nurses—or even my own doctor—drew my blood.

You ain’t home anymore, Dorothy.

I was told Monday wouldn’t be as long a wait as Saturday. Wrooooong! I waited an hour and fifteen minutes in a room with more sick people and several sick babies. The babies were cute, but it was pretty sad to see them sick and hear their raspy coughs. The end result is that our HCG hadn’t doubled, but it was at 80% and our doc said that he was happy with that. All I have to do now is schedule an ultrasound for this Friday to make sure it’s not an ectopic pregnancy. I hope an OB/GYN experience isn’t comparable to having some blood drawn. Geez.

On a happy baby note, OU welcomed another Sooner fan today. Congratulations to my friend Christy and her husband Greg on their brand new little girl Allison who was born today. She’s going to be a stylish little diva because that child already has more shoes than most third world countries. And why not? I can’t wait to meet her.
