What I Learned Today :
1) It is very important to eat breakfast. Aside from doing things like jump-starting your metabolism for the day, eating breakfast will keep you from getting dizzy and faint from hypoglycemia while you're watching an operation...assuming, of course, that you won't do that anyway.
2) When the surgeon tells you that "you're going to feel a little bit of pressure," you really, really don't want to know what they're actually doing to your body.
3) This is the really interesting part. For those of you who don't know, which I think is pretty much everybody since even the people in OB seemed surprised to see it, there is a condition of the placenta called a succenturiate placenta. Basically, this is a second, smaller placenta also attach to the uterine wall and the chorionic membranes. It's fairly rare, which is why no one in the OR knew what it was.
Altogether, it was a pretty good day :)
