One of the residents had "migraines" so bad she couldn't go to rehab all week, but she managed to go shopping every day with her boyfriend. Did I mention she went to the ER 4 out of those 5 days? And that she's on state insurance, so is not going to pay a dime for those trips? And that she has a million pills she could take instead?<br /><br />I call shenanigans. Totally.

By 6am I was taking a shower, by myself (hey, I felt dirty and gross), then the 2nd day at the hospital I had had enough and checked us out of the hospital, an hour after I got home I was cooking dinner, 6 days after my son was born I drove 700 miles to have Christmas with my family, and 4 weeks later I ran 6 miles.
