actually...I was 18 1/2 when I married. 11 months later...my darling Susan was born in a tiny Army hospital in Seattle...where I grew up. Was supposed to go to Madigan at Fort Lewis, but I found the docs real 'chilly' with moms-to-be. They were prepped for returning soldiers full of lead and worse...the little hospital was a trip! Make your own bed, get going pronto but the stay there was like 7 days. Now? if you get a day and a 1/2...it's crazy.

ah! the 'embarrassed' face..ok, it looks like ''bout to pop-your-top face..hahaha :haha:

To know what the smileys mean, just place your mouse point over the smiley. I use them differently sometimes, it works better.

Yeah if no complications they want you out. Gotta loves HMO's. One thing I really like about the VA hospital, they will not run you off, if you need to be there.  :grin2: And no monthly fee.

More smart youngins should do a short time, if nothing else for the lifetime medical. And yes, I live with in 20 miles of one.  :grin2:

Ya, I've 'hovered' over many of them...most in fact...but the 'angry' look of what says 'embarrased' never matched my emotions..so, IF you see me use it:

I'm hoppin' mad :tickedoff:

Many say 'boo' on VA hospitals but they do among the best work around. It's hard though, to have to wait for routine things...I've heard complaints on that score. Canadian friend needs an MRI badly to prepare for back surgery...can't get one for 6 months!!! Socialized medicine? Maybe...then again...what's our hurry!! 'They' will only find something 'wrong' that isn't all that abnormal. That's my feeling. Doctors are ok, got my flu shot this last fall, seems to have helped shorten a bout of it. I'm going to check on the comfy chair/tv combo for a bit

maybe set my A/V to scan for awhile too. :smiley:

Take two, and call me in the morning :wink:

They have pretty much gotten rid of the wait in the KC MO one. Seldom hear that any more, at least in the last 3 or 4 years. Yeah it used to be bad for that. I usually get in right away. Though I have only been 4 times in the last 4 years myself. I don't like the stay no matter who is paying.  :wink2:

Unless I am in for a routine checkup, then... But not bad.

And again no monthly fee, I pay $500+ for the wife and kids on insurance per month.  :tickedoff:
