We’re at the hospital, waiting for some test results. Doctors and nurses come in and out, monitors pulse and beep, the cuff inflates every fifteen minutes. It doesn’t look like Redheadlaw7 will deliver today, but Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work” still seems appropriate. Here’s a taste:
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking.Of all the things I should’ve said,
That I never said.
All the things we should’ve done,
Though we never did.
All the things I should’ve given,
But I didn’t.
The song was written for the 1988 film, “She’s Having a Baby.” Here‘s the video.
UPDATE: The tests were better than expected, so it’s back home for more bedrest.
