Note: This continues the story from the previous post, Leisure and Labor. I held tightly onto the arm of the nurse who had been monitoring me during induction while receiving the spinal anesthetic, which really hurt. My husband was not allowed in the room for that but came in afterwards. He sat on my right, next to the edge of the screen in front of me, and the anesthesiologist stood behind me out of my line of vision. My youngest sister, Monica, who is a surgeon, was in the next room and could hear everything.
