I may have posted some of these things elsewhere, some of these may be old and talked about ages ago, but I will have a nice montage of links for my amusement only. It’s been a long month and while I never have anything to say, I’ll say it anyway. and if you don’t like this format? Deal.

Preemie Awareness Day is November 15th. What will you do? What am I doing? Not as much as I wish I could, but crocheting, contributing, and recognising with joy the advances of medicine and the sadness that premature births have risen since I was born.

what’s a doctor to do? But then, finally … I couldn’t do it [dr ask her to remove wig]. The wig stayed on, forever unexplained (and her condition forever undiagnosed). (bites tongue to stop from screaming at both doctor and patient). No, I don’t know the full story so who am I to comment?
