I googled and had myself convinced I had MS. I tracked my OB down at the hospital (she was on call that day) and cornered her in an exam room in floods of tears about how was I going to raise a child if I had MS. She was very understanding. She hugged me, handed me a kleenex, and said, "Oh, Alison, you don't have MS. The baby is just compressing a nerve. It happens all the time. A month or so after the baby's born, the feeling will come back. Don't worry." I felt about 2 inches tall. And sure enough, exactly a month after Leah was born, my leg felt normal again.<br /><br />A little Google is a dangerous thing.<br /><br />And I don't have an emergency preparedness kit, so I guess I should get shoppin' for chocolate.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483907412532940799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723653386032743586.post-46304222548901194752009-05-02T07:51:00.000-04:002009-05-02T07:51:00.000-04:00I can't imagine where you got the notion that you ...I can't imagine where you got the notion that you should stay stocked up on groceries in case of...well, in case of anything! You have, however, surpassed me in the number of boxes of cereal we always had going at one time. But this doesn't surprise me since you've been a cerealholic since what? age two?? I'm glad to read that you have remembered the importance/necessity of having chocolate in the house AT ALL TIMES.
