This course examines the phenomenon of Hollywood filmmaking and encourages students to "see" movies in a different way – as historical sources, windows through which we can understand the social, political, and cultural transformations of the twentieth-century America. HI 378 MODERN CHINA This course explores the history of China since approximately 1600, focusing on the transition from the Sino-centric world in existence when the Qing dynasty took power in 1644 to the challenges of European imperialism, republicanism and communism in the 19th and 20th centuries. HI 385 ST: VIETNAM WAR This course focuses on American involvement in Vietnam from 1954 to 1975, though we will also discuss events before and after this period. Students should note that this is not a course in military history. We will discuss military events, but we will also take a broader view of the conflict. Topics will include the reasons for American intervention in Vietnam, the experiences of people involved in the conflict, the viability of the South Vietnamese state, the causes of America's defeat (and North Vietnam's victory), responses on the home front, the war in American memory, and political consequences of the war. The course will consist of lectures and discussions. Readings will include historical monographs, memoirs, primary sources, and literary materials. 23 HUMANITIES HU 201-HU 202 HUMANITIES III & IV The second year of Sophomore Humanities consists of portraits of individuals arranged chronologically from the Italian Renaissance to the 20th century. Each individual, great in his or her own right, has farreaching social, cultural, or political significance.

We reveal how we see the limitations contemporary life, man's place, and the nature of good and evil, by how we alter those limitations in stories that alter the fundamental metaphysical and moral features of our world. We will consider two sets of novels influenced by World War II: Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis's Narnia series, and contrast them with two recent series: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and The Golden Compass series by Philip Pullman. The course will examine what we think of the real, its 25 metaphysics and moral structure, by how we conceive the unreal. PH 467 ST: CAMUS AND DOSTOEVSKY A seminar that traces the influence of Dostoevsky on Camus and the central arguments and themes of their thought by examining parallel sections from their major works.

glassfish 3 acceptor threads tuning
i was reading a blog post on glassfish tuning and came accross the paragraph:
"One example is acceptor threads, which should be set to a number equal the number of CPU cores in your server. So, if you have 2 CPUs with 4 cores each, the value should be 8."
so on my cent os linux box i have googled some commands and got this:
1) # grep "physical id" /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | wc -l
to get the no of physical processors/cpu and got value of 1
2) # grep "cpu cores" /proc/cpuinfo |sort -u |cut -d":" -f2
to get the number of physical cores per cpu and got value of 4
does this mean i should set the value of acceptor threads to be : 1 x 4 = 4 ?

Two-Way Socialization: China, the World Bank, and Hegemonic Weakening
Chin, Gregory, The Brown Journal of World Affairs
There was a time when it made a lot of sense to envision China's interaction with the global financial institutions as "socialization,"or a process in which China internalized global norms through its participation in international institutions.1 The scholarship on Chinese learning and socialization provided important insight on how China, specifically Chinese officials, were socialized into or came to internalize the group norms of behavior that characterize the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade/World Trade Organization (GATT/WTO) during the 1980s and the 1990s. This article suggests, however, that China's relationship with the World Bank is undergoing a gradual but marked shift, a process that has been in motion since the early 2000s. China is no longer only learning the established process and rules of the global institution and adapting itself to them, but is also actively working to move the Bank beyond some of its established endogenous norms and practices. This study suggests that we are seeing the beginnings of two-way socialization in the relationship between China and the World Bank.
This article examines how China is starting to socialize the World Bank under the auspices of implementing the "Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cooperation between the Export-Import Bank of China and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development," signed in April 2007. Here, China succeeded in overcoming the reluctance of the Bank to agree to new procedures that mean working with China as a co-donor as opposed to its established rule of having bilateral (national) donors line up behind the Bank. Other bilateral donors had long become accustomed to following the lead of the Bank when developing a multidonor lending package involving the World Bank. China was unwilling to subordinate itself to the Bank on cofinancing arrangements to Africa, for example. China is also pushing the Bank to accept new operational norms by building new consensus with the Bank on "appropriate levels of concessionality" in the loan packages that are to be cofinanced by China and the Bank, under the terms of the MOU.
This article offers two related empirical findings. First, that a different institutional actor on the Chinese side, specifically, the Export-Import Bank of China (China Eximbank) has been assigned to partner with the World Bank for the donor cooperation efforts. China Eximbank is one of China's powerful state policy banks. Its representatives are leveraging the Chinese state's growing economic clout and national financial capacities to reestablish the country's relationship with the World Bank on new footing. This change in the mix of Chinese partners has altered the nature of China's engagement with the World Bank. Relations are evolving from traditional donor-recipient arrangements to a hybrid scenario where China and the Bank work together as co-donors, even while the Bank continues to lend to China.
Second, the endogenous changes in the norms and rules of the World Bank are linked and even preconditioned by important changes in exogenous conditions- external pressures related to the development of Chinese options "outside" of the World Bank. First, China has emerged dramatically as a creditor over the past decade and a rising (net) donor, especially in Africa, the Americas, and other areas of the Global South. The Chinese approach to development finance is not only different from that of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC) regime, but it also undercuts the influence of the World Bank in some cases of potential lending. Second, China's leaders have supported the enhancement of the role of multilateral development finance mechanisms at the regional level, in Asia, Africa, and the Inter-American region. These institutions, at a minimum, offer complimentary alternative options for development financing and could turn into default options if conditions necessitate. …

My husband was reading through the maternity coverage section and it said we needed preauthorization before any prenatal office visits. was curious if anyone else's is like this and what the purpose is/ what "preauthorization" entails.
Insurance requires "preauthorization" prior to prenatal visits?
Comments (10)
I didn't have to have preauthorization for prenatal visits but I did for my hosptial stay. I just had to call the insurance company and say "i'm pregnant I will eventually be staying in the hospital when I have the baby." They said okay. Put it down on record that I called and that was it.

My understanding, and I may be wrong, is that this is to make sure that your insurance will cover the specific Dr you choose. I had a friend who went to an OB when she found out she was pregnant, and her insurance declined to pay for her visit because that physician was not one that they covered. I am assuming that's why they want you to get reauthorized. She was pretty hacked but blamed herself for not reading it before she went. Sucked to have to pay for that visit then switch Dr's.

I had to get pre-auth'd for labor. Basically call and tell them you're in labor and that was fine. Well I went into labor on Sunday and they were closed. So we had to call Monday, which was fine but the stupid computer system has a glitch and tried to tell me i owed an additional $350 for not calling the first day I was there. I had to call and say I couldn't call b/c it was Sunday, so they removed the fee!

I didn't know about preauthorization my first pregnancy. As a result, my insurance tried to claim they didn't know know I was pregnant and wouldn't pay for the delivery. I fought and fought and finally found a customer service rep who felt bad for me and changed my notes and therefore cover me. I couldn't believe they claimed not to know I was pregnant when they had been receiving doctor's bills for prenatal visits, bloodwork, anatomy scans, sonograms, etc for 9 months!
Just call your insurance company to find out EXACTLY what/when you need to tell them things. My new insurance said that I don't need to tell them anything; my doctor's office would do it at my first appointment.
You really should call your insurance plan and ask a representative to explain the coverage to you. That would solve a lot of billing issues before they even start. My insurance plans in the past did not require preauthorization for prenatal visits, but did for things like surgery, for example.

I had to get a Pregnancy Note from a doctor that indicated my due date. I sent that to my insurance so they would cover me. Once they get that then I can make appts for prenatal
Alright ladies...now I'm a little ticked off and confused! haha. I called our insurance and was told by a representative that I did NOT need preauthorization prior to prenatal visits, only for the hospital stay. The thing that we read that explains all the different deductibles, OOP max, etc said that we needed it prior to office visits. She did confirm that my doctor is PPO and said there was no limit to ultrasounds (I've heard some only cover 1 or 2).
The insurance lady from my OB I think is going to look into it, but I wish I had a straight answer.
There is a small bonus, our insurance has something called the Special Beginnings program that gives you a $50 babies r us giftcard and a nurse line to call and ask questions to. Would never have known if I didn't call!

Facing down the masterminds of unsolicited Internet mail
Spammers charge real money for their dubious services, and hundreds of advertisers are willing to pay. We'll show you some innovative techniques for controlling and containing spam, including strategies for slowing down spam bots, keeping spammers from getting your address, and separating spam from legitimate email.
According to the email service provider Postini [1], of some 524 million messages the provider handled worldwide in a period of 24 hours, 88 percent were spam (345 million messages), including 2 million "special offers," 650,000 get-rich-quick schemes, and 2 million messages with sexual content. Just 46 million legitimate emails actually reached their targets. Despite the best efforts of the experts, the spam glut isn't going away. Most organizations focus on containing the problem to prevent losses in admin time and user productivity. We'll show you some of the latest strategies for fighting spam in this month's cover story. We'll start by examining some techniques for keeping spammers from getting your address in the first place. Then we'll show you how you can throw the spammers off your trail with a tarpit. We'll also review some anti-spam appliances and services, and we'll describe a custom solution for a user-trainable spam filter that operates from the server side.

October 9, 2015 | Broken clouds, 62 °F
Brooklyn federal court's chief judge levied sanctions against an attorney who failed to appear for an oral argument.
Matthew Peck represented members of a Queens Hindu temple in a case involving claims of forced labor. When he failed to appear at oral arguments scheduled for Aug. 13, Judge Carol Amon issued an order to show cause requesting that Peck explain, via writing, his non-appearance.
Park Slope artist James Rose, whose "Drawing Brooklyn" series depicts the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Gowanus, Red Hook and Carroll Gardens, will be exhibiting a selection of his drawings at the Brooklyn Workshop Gallery (393 Hoyt St.) beginning Friday, Nov. 8, through Dec. 8. The artist will appear at the Brooklyn Workshop Gallery on Nov. 8 for an opening reception from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. "My intent is to draw a body of work that works collectively as a portrait of a place," says Rose. "My current body of work is about my local neighborhoods in Brooklyn and where I go in Manhattan.
These days we associate Park Slope with beautiful brownstones, farmers' markets and affluent young families. But Brooklyn native Kevin McPartland, who spent his teen years in the South Slope, remembers a different kind of neighborhood. In his new novel "Brownstone Dreams," McPartland brings to life the Park Slope of the 1960s – an area devoid of Bugaboo strollers and quaint cafes - where tenements, rowdy bars and schoolyards served as the battleground for belligerent teenage gangs.
Brooklyn is now the power center in city government, according to Carlo Scissura, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, who said he is looking forward to working with Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio and other top officials.
"Brooklyn is no longer just the center for jobs, technology, fashion, culture and start-up businesses. It is also home to New York City's political power and that is wonderful for the residents of Kings County," Scissura said in a statement.
Northwest Brooklyn received a body blow Wednesday night as SUNY Downstate –once again – halted admissions and banned ambulance service to Long Island College Hospital (LICH).
Somber patients, nurses and other staffers gathered outside of the Cobble Hill hospital late Wednesday to hear about the latest salvo in SUNY's push to shut down LICH.
Employees at the hospital say they were informed by a telephone call from Dr. Michael Lucchesi, Chief Medical Officer at SUNY Downstate and LICH, around 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
In the late 1950s Robert Moses, known as the "master builder" of mid-20th century New York City, saw Willowtown in the southwest corner of Brooklyn Heights as a slum and targeted it for demolition. He intended to build high-rise housing on the cleared land. Long-time residents and newcomers who in 1953 formed the Willowtown Association fought back and won, being one of the few neighborhoods in the city ever to defeat Moses. He also targeted the northeast Heights as a slum. There he won. The present high-rises along Cadman Plaza West and Henry Street are the result.
A real-life Willie Wonka is moving to Montague Street.
The storefront Radio Shack has vacated will be the new home of a Brooklyn Heights chocolate factory that hosts kids' parties and bachelorette bashes, the Brooklyn Eagle has learned.
"I can't wait," Joe Whaley, president and CEO of Chocolate Works, told the Eagle about opening the factory at 110 Montague St. "It will be perfect."
Whose house will beat Truman Capote's as the priciest of all in Brooklyn?
Four homes in Cobble Hill and Park Slope are for sale at asking prices that, if they hit their marks or get close, will surpass the $12.5 million paid last year for 70 Willow St.
Michael Slattery, Jr., a 25-year-old Irish national charged with fraudulently purchasing a set of black rhinoceros horns in Texas and then traveling to New York to sell the horns for $50,000, pleaded guilty on Tuesday.
It's a case that is every parent's nightmare. Avonte Oquendo, the 14-year-old autistic boy who walked out of his Long Island City school and hasn't been seen since, has been officially missing for more than a month.
But what if Avonte was wearing a tracking device?

Despite the many obstacles to sustainable transportation, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., has announced the establishment of three Southern California dealerships that will house the world's first fuel cell car dealership network in the U.S. This establishment moves the world closer to mainstream fuel cell transportation and a more sustainable future.
Honda's FCX Clarity, the company's hydrogen and fuel cell-powered vehicle that emits only water, is en route to California. Three times more fuel efficient than a modern gasoline-powered car, this vehicle may help reduce dependency on oil.
Among the first FCX Clarity customers, whose leases begin in July, are film producer Ron Yerxa, actress Jamie Lee Curtis, filmmaker Christopher Guest, actress Laura Harris and business owner Jim Salomon. Honda's three new dealerships, located in Costa Mesa, Santa Monica and Torrance, are close to hydrogen refueling stations.
Unless consumers live in one of these three areas, the problem of impracticality remains. However, American Honda is working with its dealers to implement processes for fuel cell vehicle lease, delivery and service support for the duration of their lease. The company has made plans to lease about 200 FCX Clarity vehicles within its first three years of production.

Short Pump Town Center: Become a destination for the adoption of homeless pets
Short Pump Town Center has asked the community what they would like to see at the mall when they begin extensive renovations in early 2014. Tell them you'd like to see Short Pump Town Center join the growing number of pet-friendly locations in the Richmond area. And the most pet-friendly action of all? Support the adoption of homeless dogs and cats by making retail space available for the Richmond SPCA to open an adoption center at Short Pump Town Center!
Bringing pet adoptions to Short Pump Town Center would increase the mall's appeal to pet lovers throughout the Greater Richmond region by making a substantial contribution to the Richmond SPCA's work to save the lives of homeless cats and dogs. Currently, the local non-profit places more than 3,500 orphaned animals in loving homes annually, primarily from our Robins-Starr Humane Center on Hermitage Road. A second adoption center within the popular and stylish Short Pump Town Center would increase the visibility for wonderful animals who long for and patiently await an individual or family to take them home. Placing an adoption center in such a high-traffic area has the potential to exponentially increase the number of cats and dogs whose lives we save each year.
The Richmond SPCA has the capacity to staff such an adoption center with employees and volunteers that would provide the level of customer service expected of retailers within Short Pump Town Center. However, we lack the budget for the retail space. Join us in asking co-owners Pruitt Associates and Forest City to donate space in an act of corporate philanthropy that would demonstrate their commitment to making Richmond a more compassionate community.
Growing awareness of the abuses of puppy mills and resulting public outrage has led to a trend of adoptions from non-profit humane societies replacing for-profit pet stores in malls across the United States and Canada. To their credit, Short Pump Town Center has never been home to any pet store selling puppies. Let's encourage them to embrace the progressive, lifesaving trend by adding a Richmond SPCA adoption center!
Public opinion is shifting nationwide, and 86 percent of Americans advocate pet adoption according to a recent survey by Best Friends Animal Society that also reported that nine out of 10 people consider themselves pet lovers. Sentiment against pet stores has led many shopping centers across the country to replace pet stores that sell commercially bred animals with adoption centers affiliated with humane rescue organizations. I commend Short Pump Town Center for not having a pet store that sells animals from puppy mills, and I encourage you to take the next step by joining the growing number of progressive malls that give space to a humane society. Pet adoption centers in high traffic areas expose homeless dogs and cats to potential adopters who may not visit a traditional animal shelter.
In 2011 shopping center developer Macerich made this change to wide acclaim. At more than 70 malls across the country, pet stores were replaced with stores offering adoption of rescued pets. According to the website GlobalAnimal.org, "Macerich is proud of their trailblazing pet sale ban and hope to demonstrate that animal welfare is good business."

70 Malls Across US to Ban Pet Sales (globalanimal.org, October 11, 2011)
As the region's leading animal welfare organization, the Richmond SPCA is the perfect partner to operate an adoption center at Short Pump Town Center. The nonprofit currently places 3,500 orphaned dogs and cats with loving families, primarily from its Robins-Starr Humane Center. Each animal adopted from the no-kill organization opens room for another dog or cat to be saved, and 75 percent of the pets in the care of the Richmond SPCA are transferred from municipal shelters in the City of Richmond and counties of Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield and Goochland. By giving space for a Richmond SPCA adoption center, Short Pump Town Center can play a major role in saving lives.
Thank you for considering this request, and I hope you will see it as an opportunity for Short Pump Town Center to be part of a lifesaving movement that makes Richmond a compassionate community we can all be proud of.

Fox Orders More 'Napoleon Dynamite' & 'Allen Gregory,' 'Torchwood' Gets Good Start on Starz & More TV News
According to Vulture, 'Gregory' received an order for six new scripts and 'Dynamite' got seven.
More script orders could happen this fall if Fox continues to like what it sees.
Look for 'Gregory' to premiere Oct. 30 after 'The Simpsons' traditional 'Treehouse of Horror' special. 'Dynamite' is set for mid-season.

Fox Pilots Snap Judgment: Our First Reactions to the New Shows
This is designed to get you excited for some new shows ... and to warn you to curb your enthusiasm for others. Just keep in mind that we'll have full reviews of the final pilots closer to airdate, in the fall or midseason. For now, here are our snap judgments of all of Fox's new shows for the 2011-2012 TV season.
There are seven shows total -- the good ('New Girl'), the bad ('I Hate My Teenage Daughter') and the why-the-hell-did-this-happen (animated 'Napoleon Dynamite') -- and plenty of varying opinions from Mo Ryan, Maggie Furlong, Jean Bentley, Chris Harnick, Alex Moaba, Alexis Moore and Laura Prudom.
Here's how we're breaking these down:
Watch It - awesome show, can't wait for more
Skip It - it's either horrible or just totally not their thing
DVR It - there's potential, will give it a second chance
Fox Announces 2011-2012 Schedule
The long-delayed 'Terra Nova' finally gets its official debut this fall, with the Steven Spielberg-produced dinosaur show airing Monday nights at 8PM before 'House.' 'The X Factor' takes over 'American Idol''s time slot, and will help launch a new comedy on Wednesday nights.
Another interesting tidbit to note: 'America's Most Wanted' has been discontinued as a regular TV series; after 23 years Fox has decided to bring back the show in the form of occasional specials.
Check out the full lineup after the jump.
'Napoleon Dynamite' Cartoon Series Coming to Fox
According to the Live Feed, the original cast members -- including star Jon Heder -- will be lending their voices to the cartoon. 'Simpsons' veteran Mike Scully, along with Jared and Jerusha Hess, are writing and executive producing the project.
Fox has also ordered another teen-targeted cartoon, this one from 'Superbad' star Jonah Hill and 'Yes Man' writers Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul.
'Napoleon Dynamite' Animated Series Headed to FOX
When it comes to comedies, FOX knows where its bread is buttered: animation rules; live-action series fail miserably. Thus, it's not surprising to hear that the network is developing a new 'Napoleon Dynamite' series as its latest animated endeavor.
Based on the cult 2004 movie, the pilot will feature the original cast members -- including Jon Heder as the title character, Aaron Ruell as Kip Dynamite and Jon Gries as Uncle Rico -- voicing their animated counterparts. Also involved are Jared and Jerusha Hess, who wrote and directed the original film. To what extent they will be involved is unknown. Most likely they'll be special advisers to the project to make sure FOX doesn't totally botch the feel of the characters and the environment.
Whether or not this animated version of 'Napoleon Dynamite' will be picked up hasn't been determined. Should it be greenlit for a future television season, it will be interesting to see where it's placed on the schedule. Does it usurp a spot on the network's Animation Domination lineup, or will it anchor a new night of comedy? Stay tuned.

I started doing more cleaning (nesting) and going to the store around 34+ weeks and I think I've done wore my poor body out. How can I make it 30 more days??
Needing a pep talk!

DS-Beckett James-4.20.10, born @ 33w,6d
DD-Ariah Jayce-11.18.11, born @ 34w,6d
That's what I am worried about too. I should be off of bedrest next week after 8 weeks. I'm thinking there is no way I want to go back to work. I'm just going to have to convince my doctor that my body needs recovery after bedrest or there is no way I'll be able to have the strength to push this baby out.
Kristin (29) married to Jon (32)

Megan, This is such a great question. and one I'm sure we've all wondered about and struggled with. Why don't you post on the premie boad, or one of the other bedrest graduates? I'd love to hear other mama's responses and tips... so check back with us when you get that pep talk
I'll add one thought about being strong enough to push baby out - I WAS planning to give birth at a birthing center with a midwife before all this crazy bleeding and placenta abruption happened. And you know what? If you are able to go without the pain meds, it really is more a matter of allowing your body to do the work for you. Specifically your uterus, and you letting it get down and busy without resisting. Their mantra was somthing like "calm, peaceful birth, baby slips right out" I'm holding out hope that I can still have that natural delivery (even though I'll be in the hospital...), and I absoutely believe my body has all it needs to do this job, regardless of regular exercise and activity during my pregnancy. I just have to let it do the work it was created for!
HI all!! I am was in full swing of bedrest this time last year. I have a gorgeous and gregarious almost 10 month old named Gavin.
I started bedrest @ 23 weeks for placental abruption and had PTL at 32 weeks. Around 34, I started getting out more. Was off bedrest and meds at 36 weeks. Had to be induced (yes, INDUCED) at 40 plus 4.
Take it slow and still rest when you need to. By the time I was 38 weeks, I think I was talking walks but I do remember how sore and tired I got when I first started moving around. I know towards the end, my strength was coming back a little because I was doing a lot of walking, bouncing, etc to try to avoid being induced.
Just take it slow and enjoy being spoiled by the public now that you are very pregnant! Since I went on BR @ 23 weeks, I was shocked at how strangers treated me when going to the store/church/etc.
And everything you have heard is true, you totally forget how miserable bedrest is when you have your sweet baby.
Meghan, I felt 10 times better when I got off of bedrest. Obviously I had the normal end of pregnancy whoas, but I felt much better and was in no hurry to let my babe escape!
but thennnn I had the baby, and remembered what it was like to feel 'normal' again, and realized that I still felt pretty crappy...lol
You can do it... you've come so far!
My beautiful bedrest babies-DS-09/09, DD-11/11
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking. Oh, how He loves us.
I feel it to. I went to my appointments yesterday and today and couldnt wait to get home to the couch and I thought i would never say that. I was so faint and weak. I am graduated and was told to spend the next week adding in activities so that I can get my strength back for labor. HA. Easier said then done. I am really hoping that things get moving after next week. At 37 weeks and I think I will introduce a few evictions notices.

Leahsco! Great to see you again!! Hope you and little man are well!
You'll get your stamina back! Being off bedrest but still pregnant is a WHOLE lot different than being off bedrest and NOT pregnant any more. I was on for 24 weeks and the last two was after 2 weeks off of bedrest (they put me back on to get to 38 weeks....made it to 38.1!) So in those 2 weeks I tried desperately to act like a normal pregnant woman! But, alas, I was huge, tired, contracting, stiff, sore, and moody! But after my ceserian, I felt like a new woman! I was up and energetic and ready to go! It was great! Hang in there, you will all be fine!

I was on bed rest for 15 weeks with my first pregnancy. and the first several months was very hard. Just take it slow and don't try and cram everything in at one time, it wont work!
What worked really well for me is that I would write out a list of things I wanted/needed to do. I would then distribute them through out the week (one or two per day). And feel exhausted yet accomplished when I finished each day :)
Good luck!

I was on bedrest for a total of 8 wks (4 at home four at hospital). I delivered at 26w 2d.... tomorrow will be 2 weeks that I have been home. My recovery from birth was nothing like before. I pushed out a baby only weighing 1lb 14oz....so i was sore for maybe 3 hours and then that was it... i bled less than a period afterward, and now 13 days out, I am only spotting when i pump.
NOW... physically.... thats an entire different story. Keep in mind while on hospital bed rest there wre days i wasnt even allowed up for bathroom.... i had a cathedar twice, and was put on bedpan orders three times or so..... SO i was really on STRICT bedrest..... Anyways... Since I gave birth and came home two days later, I go to the hospital at least once a day to visit sweet Austin in the NICU. THe first 4 or so days, i walked about 15 ft or so and would be winded... my muscles after the first day or two were sooooooo sore inmy legs (calf muscles the worst) and my bottom.... I lost so much muscle mass...... i would get out of breath so easily... i still do my breathing excersices at night, and they're getting easier, but i still get winded. One day the elevator at the garage was out so we took the steps. THis was this past Monday.... we only had one flight of stairs to take... going down wasnt a problem... coming up was an entirely different story. I could hardly push my self up each step.
SO all in all..... i feel good, not sore... (vaginal delivery)... i am tired a lot! A LOT A LOT! I am still not physically capable of much, but doing better (doing laundry today, and cleaning my sons room).... I am not as sore, but can tell when my muscles have been over worked.
GOODLUCK to you all
