It's been a long day. Long.
Babygirl is fine. They were, despite the very unpromising vein studies, able to find a vein and artery of suitable size near her left wrist. The challenges of working with the smaller vessels stretched a 2 hour procedure to three hours. But the final result is worth it, sparing her upper arms for later procedures. And the surgeon was very, VERY proud of himself.
I hate waiting. And this was not at all a peaceful wait. I cried in the bathroom. There were two fire alarms, and FIVE stroke emergencies in the ED. There was a code in the infusion center. I saw a body wheeling by while I was waiting to use the restroom. I watched puppy videos and random TikToks. Staff in ambulatory surgery offered me a drink. THAT made me teary (I told you before that I've reached the point where, if anyone dares to be nice to me, I cry, so be forewarned.
I'm. Tired.
