I am so happy we have been doing so much talking in the last few months.

Michelle...I'm still mixed about it.
Yuliya...I have been thinkng about you the past couple of weeks as I'm seeing all the specials on 9/11.
I was still in med school-was rounding on patients-upper east side at memorial sloan kettering cancer center. One of the members of the team got a text page saying a plane hit wtc. We thought--oh maybe some small plane. Then as we went to each patient's room we would see what was going on on their tv. But we finished rounds before the buildings actually fell. So I didnt know until a little later when I saw the chief resident and he looked so upset.
Two of the residents were from NYU so they were pulled to go back down town to wait for survivors. Since I was a med student I was given the option of leaving--but I decided to stay and help with their patients. This was before I had a cell phone so i ran home to make some calls and check my messages. DH's job was on a military base so he had been evacuated (we were engaged then actually not married) and my sister was fine in college in massachusetts. A bunch of my classmates went to the emergency room to help if survivors came.
It was a weird day; It helped to be so busy with my own patients but weird to be ordering staging CTs for cancer when thousands of people were just murdered.
Ours was ok.. Dh went for a beer with a work mate so i told him to get me cupcakes. Well he was out so late the place closed!! So no dessert. So i made him take care of C on his own when he got back
That is just awesome that your MIL is sooo great! enjoy!
