I'm pregnant

@newbdriver
I'd like to offer you an apology for ripping into you in such a harsh and actually cruel manner.
I was way wrong and it was totally inappropriate. I could of said the same thing in a compassionate manner as it should of been and was by a few others.

As I stated it hit me wrong and I just started typing before I thought about the position you are in now and how you could be feeling right now about your stitsuation and future , probably everything from uncertainty to scared.

Again my words were incredibly inappropriate and shameful and you most certainly did not deserve it.

Sincerely and respectfully I apologize.

 

Ya know... this is a first for me. Preggo and running flatbed.

Literally. I run into many females doing well with flatbed and outstanding. But preg? None of that until today. There isnt anything known from experience on my life out there to accomodate preg flatbed drivers.

However... this is not a negative thing, just a interesting twist on trucking. And I would be the last person to have a problem with it. With that said, baby comes first. It has to. Especially now. And I tell you why.

I was born three months early. At a weight deemed not survivable and should be allowed to die. But something touched the doctor and they had me in a incubator. Now keep in mind this was the 60's and one technology they used was a surgical needle installed into the leg's femoral artery. Then the blood routed to a machine where oxygen and some other goodies were added and fed back to the artery with a second needle next to the first. Someone three shifts a day had to monitor 3 different electric motors and gauges matching my heart to the blood flow precisely.

When they sent me home, the hospital tore the bills up. My parents will need about three life times of multimillion dollar work to pay this bill. There is no way. But they did tear it up and it worked out well. But was it the life I needed to do? I don't have a answer for that.

Anyway. That's my story. I cherish freedom above all else, espeically when that German Measles made my mother and a few thousand others like her very sick in a maryland outbreak back in the 60's. Not too many survive that.

 

I understand completely.
But if it's any consolation I really do mean it. My apologie comes from the bottom of my heart.

 

I forgive you too lol.

 

You had every right to.
I had no right tearing into you the way I did.
I'm actually quite embarrassed.

 

What names,actually I was talking about driverdriver for that heartfelt apology.

 

You ask my wife, or my mother in law, they would tell you "right up until your water breaks, or till you start having problems"
