Of course if an immediate emergency walks in that has a greater need they will take care of that patient first. But there aren't a whole lot of appts available per each time slot so it shouldn't really be a problem. <br /><br />Look at it this way- if you are sick (or your kid/husband/brother), it's 10 at night- you want to see a doc but can't wait until the morning. Urgent care is closed. So, you can go to the ER and sit there for an hour or two in the waiting room, being all anxious, wondering when they'll call you...or you can go online and make an appointment, and spend that hour or two waiting at home, knowing when you get to the ER you'll see the doc upon arrival. After being in the ER with a sick baby, I know it would totally be worth it to wait in the comfort of my home.Celenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245650922336993570.post-12194651232264629992010-06-19T05:18:15.101-07:002010-06-19T05:18:15.101-07:00thanks tony! and i too have been reading up on epi...thanks tony! and i too have been reading up on epidurals and it does freak me out that it can slow down the process. i don't like pain, but i'd rather have some pain for a little bit than be in labor for 30 hours.ReRehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938084025068231031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245650922336993570.post-68387360114091507052010-06-18T20:09:51.424-07:002010-06-18T20:09:51.424-07:00I Can't agree more on the diaper thing.

My kid doesn't even run around the house in just a diaper very often, let alone in public. As far as theb irth stuff, we had Logan at home and at first when Jen said she wanted a home birth I was like "No Way", but after all the research and literature she shared with me about hospitals and the un-needed procedures they put you through I'm glad we did it that way. An epidural is a great thing for pain, but it can also slow the whole process WAY down. And finally, I swear I'm gonna submit this blog URL to some magazines or TV shows, because you are so good at it you should get some more pub, or at least get some cash for it.

I was really worried about that but then I ended up with an emergency c section so I was saved from shitting myself. LOL. You guys are naming him River? My neighbor has a little boy named River!!

All teens should be required to watch the video that i watched. I GUARANTEE they will close up those legs! Oh, i'm all about an epidural!!! and yes, i remember the "party." hahah. that's probably how i'm in this baby situation!ReRehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938084025068231031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245650922336993570.post-56906239540448417642010-06-18T13:18:57.212-07:002010-06-18T13:18:57.212-07:00I've been wanting to comment for so long on yo...I've been wanting to comment for so long on your blog. You CRACK ME UP. Today finally felt like the right day. I've met you IRL...I'm friends with Samantha and I believe we attended a "party" at her house before. For toys of *ahem* the adult variety.<br /><br />On the ER waiting - I've been to the Edmond hospital that makes that claim. And, yeah, you get through the waiting room pretty quickly (without an appointment even!). But then they get you back into a room...that's where the waiting is. Went in for a migraine one day and I "waited" in a room for over 2 hours before I was finally seen and released! Advertising...<br /><br />Also, I don't know if you're considering an epidural. But I can't recommend it enough. Seriously. I cried after my son was born and they took me off of it. I've never had such a spiritual experience as when the epidural started working. It was like God speaking to me. So then, the pushing and birthing...I didn't feel a thing. Nothing. No screaming and grunting...just peace.

Both were really involved in drama club. I only like to see him in scrubs in his office or in the delivery room. At school performances? Not so much. <br /><br />I don't care how many people live here, Norman will always be a small town.<br /><br />Fortunately, his son has moved on to the high school and my daughter still has 7th and 8th grade to go.Melessa Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389345997489197531noreply@blogger.com
