I didn't know it was going to be cloudy with a chance of spam today.
I blame MWY.
It isn't long since MWY brought up ~smile~, who also opened tons of threads to spam pieces of his own writing. This can't be a coincidence.
In a little over 8 hours' time, the wife of one of my staff will be going into theatre for a C section.
But this won't be a standard procedure - the placenta is covering the cervix, so a normal delivery isn't possible, but it is also lying in such a position that they will have to cut through it to get to the baby. If things don't go well, they may have to remove the whole womb, and the risks to both mother and baby are a lot higher than normal, excessive blood loss being the major concern. Because of the serious nature of the situation, she will be having a general anaesthetic, not an epidural.
The best surgeon available at the hospital will perform the op, but things are a little tense, as you can imagine.
So if you can spare any positive thoughts in a few hours' time, then please send them to this couple and the two young boys awaiting the arrival of a new brother or sister.
Hopefully, I'll be reporting back tomorrow with the good news of a healthy mum and new baby

Everybody's still alive and in one piece, I hope?
) We've had the reverse a few times in the last years, when I had to be away caring for my Mom or when Master didn't want to deal with holiday travel. But I've never been alone here before. I do not like this one little bit. (Which is what he always tells me. Now I get it.

They've had a baby boy, 6lb 5oz
Both are doing fine, although it was touch and go at times.
What a relief.....

. Thanks, everyone, for your kind messages and thoughts.
Dear Lord!
Bunny, did you make it home intact or did you go down for the third time?
I seem to have been off the board for this little jaunt, but it does recall the time I drove with my mother and aunt to Fredericksburg. Annoying, really. I've done my best to block that memory....

I may have slipped into the Twilight Zone. Elsewhere, in all seriousness, I just wrote this: "Fucking sex. Ruins everything.
It must be time to take me out back and shoot me.
Sorry, you're on your own there.
I'm home, finally! (Thank you for asking.) I plan on sleeping for approximately five years now.
Oh, God, I can imagine how your Fredericksburg trip was. Why are trips with family so maddeningly awful? I made up my mind the second day we were there that I will absolutely fake my own death before I go through that again.
