TVT

A while back I mentioned my 91 year old grandma wanted to get a Wii.  Before having her go buy one, we offered to let her borrow ours to see if she would even like it.  JJ went and hooked it up about a month ago and showed her how to use it.  I talked to her on the phone last week and asked her what she thought of it.  She said “oh honey, I had to take it down.  All the cords were driving me crazy!”  My grandma has a fireplace in the corner of her living room and a cutout above for her TV.  So when JJ hooked up the Wii, there was no place to hide all the cords and I guess she didn’t like that.  So what did she do instead?  She went out and bought an ePad.  Yes, an ePad.  Haha, isn’t that funny?  That’s what she thinks they’re called.  Such a cute grandma…And she loves that damn thing!  Now she can play her An.gry Bi.rds and all sorts of games on there.  I think it’s great that she wants to stimulate her mind and do things other than just sit at home and watch TV.  Since she now has the internet, I told her I would come over one weekend and set up an email account for her so I can send her pictures of Chloe.  I know she will love that because she is always asking me for pictures.  Next thing you know, she’ll be on FB! 

I’m excited for a bloggy meet up this weekend!  Rachel over at Sillyness Abounds went to the same RE as me.  We found each other when we were both going through treatments and now our daughters are just 5 days apart!  We live about 15 minutes from each other, so I’m very excited to finally meet her and her beautiful little girl. 

One thing that I asked the doctor about on Tuesday was Chloe’s little toes.  They have always been a little bent, but I really didn’t think much of it.  I decided to ask the doctor, but I was just sure he would brush it off as something she would grow out of.  To my surprise, he actually spent some time talking to us about them.  There is something called a floppy toe and you can have surgery to correct it.  I kind of freaked out when he mentioned surgery, but he said her case is so mild, he does not see her needing it.  At first we thought they would go in and break the toe and reset it, but they actually release tendons to straighten out the toe.  Makes sense.  Surgeons won’t even touch a kid until they are 2 ½ or 3, but he did say they are more likely to fix the little toes rather than middle toes because little toes may cause more balance issues.  So long story short, she’s fine, but I was just surprised that he didn’t brush it off. 

Do any of you follow S.I.F.?  She caused a bit of an uproar in a post she wrote about IVF last week.  I feel so bad for her because I really don’t think she intended to hurt anyone.  She was just putting her feelings out there about herself.  No one else.  But apparently she upset many of her readers and even one of her IRL friends. She’s done her best to try and make things right, but it just makes me wonder if she should have even written that post.  Was she in the wrong?  It’s her blog.  She’s been through IVF twice so it’s not like she has no merit on the subject.  But I think the damage she’s done to some relationships far outweighs what she got out of writing that post.
