So\u00a0there\u00a0I was …<\/p>\n
In an\u00a0emergency room,<\/p>\n
Once again.<\/p>\n
Surprised?<\/p>\n
Not really.<\/p>\n
Anyways,<\/p>\n
The x-ray tech rolls her portable x-ray machine into my station …<\/p>\n
And starts to set things up to take my x-ray.<\/p>\n
She puts the plate-thingie on the bed,<\/p>\n
Positions my hand for the first picture desired on top of said plate thingie,<\/p>\n
Picks up the remote activation device that will execute the x-ray\u00a0taking process,<\/p>\n
And starts walking out the door to protect herself from the x-ray diation,<\/p>\n
(Always a bit unnerving when you are the one left right next to the x-ray device),<\/p>\n
Then just as she’s exiting the room,<\/p>\n
She stops, turns to me, and says,<\/p>\n
“Is there any chance you are pregnant?<\/em>”<\/p>\n “No.<\/em>”<\/p>\n “Are you sure? Any chance at all?<\/em>”<\/p>\n “No. I’m certain.<\/em>”<\/p>\n You know,<\/p>\n After all this time,<\/p>\n That type of interaction continues to give me an inner smile.<\/p>\n To think\u00a0…<\/p>\n She must believe\u00a0I’m still young enough to get knocked up ! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So there I was …<\/p>\n In an emergency room,<\/p>\n Once again.<\/p>\n Surprised?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":140,"label":"Life"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20150420_135838-1-1024x1020.jpg",1024,1020,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Amy","author_link":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/author\/amy\/"},"comment_info":5,"category_info":[{"term_id":140,"name":"Life","slug":"life","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":144,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":48,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":140,"category_count":48,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Life","category_nicename":"life","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3508"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
