I am a BIG jerk!

(And I have no plans to change!)

I have had a rather interesting week. I got a migraine last Friday night. After MULTIPLE pain injections/visits to the ER, they decided to admit me on Monday evening. I was there until Wednesday afternoon. I had about a bajillion tests done--spinal tap, occipital nerve block, an MRI, etc. They were all stumped as to how to possibly get rid of this headache. I had multiple opinions on what was safe to try during pregnancy when the doctors finally decided that all they could give me were narcotics and anti-nausea meds.

Well, for the most part, my nurses were great. I had one that was short and snippy with me and during one of the doses of pain meds, she shot it into my IV so fast that I ended up not being able to handle it very well.

As I was throwing it back up, a different nurse was there holding my hair and rubbing my back. It was at that moment that I realized, I AM A JERK! Seriously, I HATE vomit. Whenever my kids have the stomach flu, I make Doug deal with it. I "instruct" from another room. . . "Make sure you get it in the toilet," or "Let me know when you are done," etc.

So there you go! I have no desire to change. I just wanted you all to know the truth about me--a perfect stranger can do things for me that I can't/won't do for my own children. And seriously, I'm okay with that. I'm pretty sure this doesn't make me a horrible mom. I'm also pretty sure that my kids know that I love them completely--just not their vomit.
