"It's All Messed Up In There"
That's a phrase that both Alison and her mom remember that Dr. Randall said after peeking inside Alison with his laproscope and crazy robot arms. Seems the adhesions are back. From the pictures of her insides, it looks like ribbons of muscle wrapped around everything. It's got her uterus and bowels mostly. Dr. R didn't cut any of it out. He did comment that he'd never seen a person's insides that looked like that. I'm not sure what that means. I'm getting everything that Dr. Randall said through the filter of Alison and her mom.
Dr. Obvious
Dr. Randall, who last week told Alison that he didn't know why the other doctors said Alison couldn't make babies, said, "I don't think you'll ever be able to have kids." Dur. But I must gripe about the phrasing choice. She isn't going to be able to make kids, or make babies, or make people out of her woman box, but we'll have a kid in, hopefully, a few months.
In fact, our daughter is alive out there somewhere. And I'm not talking about just gestating around, she's waking up in the mornings and laughing and crying and whatnot. We estimate that we'll get our referral in May, which means we'd get her in July.
But Alison is fine, relatively. She's checked out lots of books and has been recording stupid shows off HGTV and TLC all week to watch while she's stuck in bed.
