Loopy is good! Enjoy and get better

But, could someone from the American side of the Atlantic explain to this ignorant Brit exactly what Jello (any colour) is?

Jello?

"The powder contains powdered gelatin and flavorings including sugar or artificial sweeteners."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jell-O

"Gelatin (spelt "gelatine" in Commonwealth countries, from the French gélatine) is a translucent, colorless, odorless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing."

But then what do you call the stuff you have with peanut butter, between two slices of bread?

Jam?

The same thing happened with us. There I was on the operating table with my arms strapped out like Jesus on the cross and with everything God gave me on display for the masses and my husband kept asking my OB questions and saying, "this is fascinating. . .this is fascinating!"

If they hadn't strapped down my arms, he would have come out of the OR with a black eye!

At one point he asked, "What's that? and my doctor replied, "the fat layer." I shouted, "Leave it out, don't put that back in there!!" Considering I had gained almost 50 pounds during my first pregnancy, I thought it was a valid request. Unfortunately, she told me I had to leave with what I came in with, with the exception of the baby stuff.

I did the same thing during my c-section, thinking that this was the perfect time to do a little lipo! He didn't agree either.
Now, maybe if my doctor was female...

My wife kept asking "What are they doing now?" to which I mostly replied "You don't want to know."

When all was said and done the Dr told my wife it would take a few days for her insides to get back to normal so she should avoid heavy/solid foods for a while. I told the Dr I wouldn't have been surprised if there was a know in there somewhere judging by the way he just tossed everything back in after our daughter came out.

Back in the day us men got to watch tv in the lobby and smoke cigars while all this was happening.
