Pretty decent, actually. Some pain, but not unexpected. Fairly
mobile. But getting out of bed is still quite the chore :-(

Blame it on the mattress :-)

We had to shop for a bed today and ended up at Ikea. There it's all
pretty basic stuff but it was the only place that had beds where you
don't sink all the way down into a mattress. Oh, and they had those
Swedish meat balls at the cantina.

Actually the mattress cost more than twice as much as the bed but it'll
be worth it when that back pain cometh again.

When my first kid was born, I was 21 I think, and it was the standard
wait on a bench outside, then much later get to see the kid through a
window. When The Brat was born, I was 40 and things had changed. I was
in the room when she was born (fairly messy process, being born) and
then they took her into a room across the hall and put her on a table,
with thermocouples stuck on her hide and some sort of closed-loop IR
heaters that made sure that her own thermoregulator loops were
working. They left me alone with her to watch that everything was OK,
probably on purpose, the bonding thing. It worked. She lay there on
her back, looking all around, making various faces on the order of
"what the hell have I got into now?" Obviously a new, very distinct
consciousness had arrived, from somewhere. That was, I think, the most
memorable instant of my life, so far.

Yep. It's worth a cry. 4 children and 8 grandchildren later (a 45
year span) I still feel the same.

Another memorable instant was the day that I realized that she was big
enough and strong enough to hurt me. [1]

[1] She's now team captain for the Cornell softball team, even
scarier. You *do* want to pay attention when you're feeding her balls
in the batting cage, and they're coming back at you like Sidewinder
missiles.

Same with my sons... ooops he's taller than I am and SMART ;-)

Girls stayed their mother's height, ~ 5'2 & 5'4", SMART also!

Isn't it just wonderful when your kids demonstrate some attribute
above your own capabilities.
