Realizing I needed some approximation of a woman's shape, Istepped back out, and got a bra and panty set, and stuffed the bra beforeputting the dress...back on."Well, now what?" I thought.I went and found a pair of woman's flat shoes, and decided I wouldpretend like I was a female member of the crew on a day off, and do whatI would think she would do. I went and watched a movie in the movietheater, and then had lunch in the food court, and finally, went back tomy quarters to think about my day.I. "The postman has been, and I want a word with you, sunshine!" Now what have I done?"She waved an envelope at me; I could tell at a glance that it was Jen's writing."Oh god, she's not pregnant is she?"

BUT, from what YOU told me you did to her, she SHOULD have been stuck in bed for three days. We cruised through small towns, by farms and some big homes. Shelley and I saw much of the beautiful lush green countryside. We stopped in one small town to drink coffee at a small cafe. We sat outside, watching the towns people going about their daily business. Life moved at a slower pace in these towns, as there was no reason to hurry and they were independent from outside influences. As we left town, people waved to us and bid us adieu. We drove for two more hours and decided we needed to. "You are a lucky boy. When the helicopter flew you in and we got our look at you, I wouldn't have expected you to survive for an hour, much less tolerate emergency surgery, sleep quietly for four days and then heal up wonderfully."Your family doctor saved your life. You need to understand that. Except that Dr. Temple recognized the exact nature of your distress, you would have almost no chance of surviving this kind of bleed."I expect your mother and the rest of your entourage will be along any.
