Apparently, I was exactly the same age when I stayed in the hospital for dehydration. They gave her a spinal tap. THAT was worse than labor, she was frothing at the mouth. The Dr. was a real prick, he came in with a swagger:
Dr. Prick: "I do 200 of these a year, no worries, this is what we do here, everything will be fine."
Us: "Great, could you explain to us what you are looking for, what the process is, what medications if any you will be using, and what we should expect?"
Dr. P: "It's all very boring, I will let you know what we find."
P exits stage left.
When he came back and did the lumbar puncture, he missed and got NO spinal fluid. Paul and I decided that if he was going to posture like House, he had better do a hell of alot better than that.
We ended up in the hospital for 3 days. She got fluids, antibiotics, and we watched House season 2 in its entirety. She was fine and we got some needed rest.
