fun at the hospital

today i got to spend five hours at the doctor's office/hospital because i am having contractions or pre-term labor or something and it was quite the ordeal. it feels like i spent the whole day there. they put me on some pills that lower my blood pressure so i'll stop having contractions and they make me dizzy, flushed, light-headed. i am supposed to take it very easy from now on. i don't have high-blood pressure, though. what a day. i even ate a hospital meal and wore a gown. they offered to wheel me out in a chair, but i opted to walk.
