i almost forgot

in my giddiness over posting for a new job, i forgot my even better news - that my tests came back normal! i have the official medical stamp of "healthy" on my forehead again. woohoo!

as soon as i got off the phone with my primary physician's nurse, i called my OB's secretary to schedule a consultation with him. when i asked if we could meet in his office or a conference room, she put me off, so now i've got to figure out how to get around her to get directly to my OB, who i know will understand.

an exam room is a terrible place to have a heart-to-heart conversation. the doctor is crammed into a corner between the exam table and the computer desk. one chair is crammed too close to the computer desk and the other chair is across the room, out of necessity because the room is so cramped. plus, who wants to go back to the place where we formed the action plan for extracting my son's body from mine and where we read the autopsy for the first time? not me. when i'm pregnant again, and have some new hope, i will go back to the exam room. i might even let myself be dragged back into the god-forsaken ultrasound room. but not yet.

That's awesome. Congratulations on the clean bill of health. At least that's one positive step.
