Emily sat down in the chair at exactly 10am, at 11 the nurse came and got me and said she was ready to go.  Ready being a relative term as I found out.  She was barely conscious and by that I mean she was upright and her eyes were half open, she wasn’t aware at all.  The nurse and I got her to the elevator(no stairs) and into car, as soon as she sat down her eyes closed.   I buckled her seatbelt and tied her ice bags back around her face.  Three times on the way home I had to stop and fix those damn ice bags, and twice to change her gauze pads.  So we get to Clinton at 1pm and I stopped to get Judy.  By this time I knew I needed  someone to stay with her until I got her scrips filled.  (I was afraid she might choke or something)  So Judy followed us home in her car(she didn’t ride with us)  I was gone about 45 min.  Judy left and from 1:45 until 5pm I changed her ice bags, gave her drugs, made her drink some cool stress tea and she was unconscious thru it all. I think it all went pretty smooth what do you think?

After two of the most difficult days ever, I bucked up and did what I needed to do, and lo and behold it all worked out fine.  Just goes to show that if you stand up and face your demons sometimes they aren’t the demons they first appeared to be.

Pop quiz Jon—where is this from?
