I don't know at what point I realized that I was doomed to one of the worst public humiliations of my parenting experience, but it might have been when the elderly lady walked in on Jasper and I in the ladies' restroom at our local Kelsey's restaurant and noticed a) his nakedness, b) the slick of mustard poo coating that nakedness, c) the slick of mustard poo coating me, and d) the slick of mustard poo coating every visible surface in the room, and then, without a word, turned on her heel and walked back out again.
We hadn't planned to go out to dinner Saturday night. But we'd ended up driving out to the countryside to visit friends and hadn't planned for dinner and so had hatched the ill-conceived plan to just stop on the way home so that Emilia might fall asleep in the car afterwards. It occurred to me at some point that our car-stash of diapers and pull-up pants and wipes was low, but I reasoned that Emilia would use the toilet at the restaurant – she's been using the toilet fairly reliably – and that we could make it through the evening with just a spare pull-up and no wipes. I forgot that we also had a baby, and that at five months old, he's unable to use the toilet and, you know, control his bowel movements.
We'd been at the restaurant for about twenty minutes when Jasper started to fuss.
"He probably needs a change," I said. I did a mental calculation of baby supplies on hand. Zero. "You're going to have to go out to the car," I told my husband. "There should be a diaper in the backseat." I figured that I might have a wipe or two in a crumpled-up travel pack of no-name wipes in my bag. I didn't bother to check.
So it was that five minutes later I was in the ladies' restroom with a baby in need of a change and only one diaper, no change of clothes, and one or two dessicated wipes. Which wouldn't have been a problem, necessarily, if said baby wasn't loaded from stem to stern with – how to put this? – a shitload of effluent that had just begun leaking through his clothes.
Leaking through his clothes and onto mine.
Leaking through his clothes and onto my clothes and onto the floor.
Leaking through his clothes and onto my clothes and onto the floor and onto my feet.
Mustard poo, as any new parent knows, does not, strictly speaking, smell like poo. It has a sort of cloying, sweet organic smell, like the smell of dead roses, or of rotting fruit, or wet hay, with a bit of a sharp, mustardy edge to it. I had a lot of time to think about this as I wrestled my fat, naked, poo-slicked baby in the ladies' restroom of the Bowmanville Kelsey's. I had a lot of time to think about this, because it is very, very difficult to clean a poo-slicked baby in a public restroom with only one wipe. Actually, it is very nearly impossible to clean a poo-slicked baby in a public restroom with only one wipe. Which is why I spent close to half an hour just standing around in my poo-stained shirt, holding the naked poo-slicked baby and a clutch of paper towels and wondering what the f*** I was supposed to do, during which time the elderly woman wandered into the restroom, correctly assessed the situation as off-putting to one's dinner, and exited immediately.
I needed to act. I knew that if I took much longer, one of a number of things was going to happen: 1) someone else would come in wanting to use the restroom, which by this point looked like the set of one of those alien movies where aliens get slaughtered and splatter gummy yellow effluent over every surface, 2) my husband would send the server – who was maybe twenty-years old and prone to responding to every request with a giggle and 'okay, awesome!' – in to find me, which would contribute nothing but nervous tittering and an added element of spectacle to the scene, 3) Jasper would release another blast of poo and I would burst into tears, or 4) all of the above.
So, gripping Jasper under one arm, I filled the sink with soap and water, dipped him butt-first into the bubbles and scrubbed at him with paper towels. Then I threw paper towels over the change table, three or four layers thick, for later wiping, and shoved some more paper towels against my poo-smeared chest so that Jasper wouldn't get re-smeared when I held him against me. Then – still one-arming it – I pulled the clean diaper onto him, and his wee cardigan, which had mercifully escaped being shat upon. I contemplated tossing his clothes into the wastebasket, but decided that that would just prolong the smell, and so I wrapped them in more paper towels and then – holding Jasper an inch from my damp, decoupaged chest and summoning every ounce of dignity I could muster – marched back through the restaurant to my husband.
"Take him," I said, "and get the waitress to bring a plastic bag for this." I dumped the paper-towel wrapped package of poo-soaked clothing on my chair, grabbed my own cardigan, and walked back the restroom, where I stripped off my reeking, soaking shirt and shoved in the wastebasket. Then, clad only in my bra, I scrubbed myself down – myself and all the other surfaces slicked with poo – before zipping my cardigan over my more-or-less naked but also more-or-less shit-free chest and heading back out into the restaurant and to my family: Jasper now clean and settled back in his carseat, my husband holding out a large glass of red wine for me, and my daughter grinning madly over a plate of mini-hamburgers.
And clutching a big squeeze-bottle of mustard.
If we never go out for dinner again it will be too soon.
If you have a worse poo story, I'd like to hear it. Also, I'd like to know if I'm the only parent who regularly finds herself short of supplies at critical moments, because a former grad-school colleague just messaged me saying 'good story, but when I'm a parent I'm going to keep a package of diapers in the car' and I was all, like, 'ha ha good luck with that' until I realized that maybe my particular form of slacker parenting is not the norm and that, perhaps, I should be deeply embarrassed about my general ineptitude. Yes/no?

Metatarsalgia denotes a common foot condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the joints and bones of the ball of the foot - the area just before the toes, also called the metatarsal region.
Symptoms of metatarsalgia can develop suddenly, especially after an increase in exercise or high-impact activities, but normally the problems develop over time. Common symptoms of metatarsalgia include:
- Sharp, aching or burning pain in the ball of your foot -- the part of the sole just behind the toes
- Pain that intensifies when you stand, walk or run
- Pain that radiates from the balls of the feet into the toes
- Numbness or tingling in the toes
- A feeling in your feet as if you are walking with a pebble in your shoe
- Pain that increases when walking barefoot
Sometimes a single factor can trigger metatarsalgia. More often, multiple factors contribute to the pain, including:
- Over-training or Over-activity. Extensive training and high-impact sports, especially running, places an abnormal amount of stress on the balls of the feet, causing irritation, inflammation and pain.
- Other foot disorders. High arches, hammertoes, bunions, stress fractures and Morton's neuroma can all trigger metatarsalgia symptoms.
- Poor-fitting footwear. High heels, narrow-toed shoes and shoes without adequate padding can all contribute to metatarsal problems.
- Excess weight. Extra weight places excess pressure on your metatarsals.
- Aging. The fat pads on the metatarsals thin out as a person ages, diminishing the ability of the metatarsal bones to protect themselves.
Although generally not serious, metatarsalgia can disrupt your day to day activities, and when left untreated can lead to additional pain in your unaffected foot, back or hips. Treatment to eliminate metatarsalgia symptoms can be as simple as resting, icing the affected area and wearing proper-fitting shoes to significantly reduce swelling and ease pain.
When conservative treatments aren't affective and pain persists, visit Foot Health Centers, LLC for a full exam and a proper diagnosis. In most cases, metatarsalgia can be treated non-surgically. An experienced podiatrist at our Metairie office may prescribe specially-designed orthotics or shock-absorbing insoles and arch supports to prevent and minimize future problems with metatarsalgia.

[Update 7/12: The Times takes a noise tour of NYC and confirms what we all know--the bars and restaurants are painfully, dangerously loud.]
Tip #1: Make your complaint a three-fold whammy
1. Call 311. According to Susan, there are a few reasons why it's crucial to make this call. Each complaint is immediately sent electronically to the police and helps to create a record against the offending establishment. In addition, the City allocates resources and money where there are problems, and 311 is one of the tools they use to identify problems. Your 311 call can make a long-term difference in the neighborhood.
2. Call your local police precinct and give them the complaint directly.
3. Make the complaint to the Community Board. You can do this via email and through their website. CB3 creates a spreadsheet of all the complaints they receive and they review this, as well as 311 calls and discussions with the police precinct, when an establishment comes before the Board for renewal. However, they only review locations that have had complaints reported directly to the CB within the last year.
If a business continually violates any stipulations they agreed to (for example, they promised to close their doors by 10:00 pm), you should also email the CB3 with specifics, such as: "This business has their doors open with live music playing every Tuesday until midnight." Doing so can give the authorities a heads up so they can catch the violators in the act.
"Stop the SuperNoise," says Jill
Tip #2: If you live above Houston Street, attend the 9th Precinct Community Council.
At these monthly meetings (except July and August), you will find many community members lodging complaints, several bar owners, and members of the police force who take these issues seriously. Click here for info--the next meeting will be 9/15.
Tip #3: There's more power in numbers.
A single individual's complaints are one thing, but a group of complainers is really powerful. If a business you have issues with comes to the board for a license, attend the CB3 meeting as a group. If you go solo, bring your "group" to the meeting with signed petitions and collections of letters from community members. If you have formed a group, Susan will be happy to schedule a meeting with you to answer your questions. Click for contact info.
The Coop
Tip #4: Keep an eye on the Community Board agenda.
When something you're concerned about comes up in the CB3 calendar, attend the meeting. And come prepared: Bring friends, petitions, letters, photos, and an outline of any specifics (dates of complaint calls, talks with the owner, loud parties, etc.).
Tip #5: Take it straight to the State Liquor Authority.
As Susan says, the SLA's job is not to plan for our community, it's to give licenses to people who fit the criteria. Only when it comes to the 500-foot rule does the SLA get involved in regulating. They have a special 500-foot Hearing when a business is planning to apply for a full liquor license where three or more full licenses exist within 500 feet.
If the business owner can attest that they are a benefit to the community, they can be awarded a liquor license—even if they're within 500 feet of others. Community members who show up at those 500-foot Hearings and testify that the business is NOT a benefit can swing the vote. Susan told me, "Every time I have gone to a 500-foot Hearing with a group of well-organized community members, the SLA has sided with the residents 100% of the time." Click here for info on upcoming 500-foot Hearings.

Do you know the biggest targets of identity theft? The answer may surprise you — while everyone should be aware of identity theft, children and the elderly are at an especially high risk of becoming victims. Despite a child's finances being largely tied to his or her parents' finances, minors are still susceptible to identity theft and the consequences can be both troublesome and financially damaging.
High Risk for Identity Theft
The elderly are particularly susceptible to identity theft, especially if they are not monitoring their finances. In fact, the number of elderly victims of identity theft increased from 2.1 million in 2012 to 2.6 million in 2014. Recognizing the warning signs, knowing how to take the necessary precautions and understanding steps to take if you or a family member falls victim to the crime are vital to protecting one's identity and financial well-being.
Here are some tips for helping monitor a child or elderly person's financial security:
Recognize the warning signs.
If your loved one begins receiving collection calls, bills for services he didn't use or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) correspondence explaining that a relative's Social Security Number has been misused, these can be key signs of fraud. Remember, the elderly may be particularly susceptible to phishing scams both online and over the phone. Keeping watch for the signs of identity theft will help you recognize if your relative becomes a target or a victim.
Check your credit report.
A credit history is established when a credit account is first opened, and minors may request a copy of their report after the age of 14. You are entitled to a free credit report once every 12 months from the three major credit bureaus. Keep track of your family member's credit and inspect it for any unusual changes to notice signs of identity theft as soon as possible.
Be careful with information.
Never give someone your own or a family member's Social Security Number (SSN) unless it's absolutely necessary – you need to confirm that if you do give out this information, it's to a reputable institution for a valid reason. Remind older relatives to never divulge their SSN over the phone or by mail, as the elderly are targets for identity theft scams.
Monitor online activity.
Teach your child to be cautious online, and make sure your parents are aware of online security basics. Make sure they know to delete "phishing" emails, are aware of what information they post online, and only make purchases from secure websites. If your children are young, you may want to consider monitoring their online activity closely until they demonstrate that they can use the internet responsibly. This is especially important if a family member is new to using the internet — it can take some time to learn what's safe online.
Find a safe location for important documents.
Designate areas to contain all paper and electronic records, including personal and financial details. Securing the mailbox and emptying it frequently can help protect important data. If a document is no longer necessary, be sure to shred it prior to throwing it away.

Malfunction or failure of any of the various electrical system components can hinder performance, reduce fuel efficiency, or even cause a car fire. Our mechanics are certified in repair and replacement of your automobiles electrical components.
Malfunction or failure of any of the various electrical system components can hinder performance, reduce fuel efficiency, or even cause a car fire. Our mechanics are certified in repair and replacement of your automobiles electrical components.
Today's cars are highly complex machines. Where once they had a battery, starter, and alternator, and that was all for the electrical systems, today they have complex electrical components that play a role in most parts of the car's operations. In fact, your modern vehicle is almost like one big computer. Nearly every system from the fuel system to the cabin comfort components are run by electronics. If you find yourself having trouble with your electrical systems, we have technicians who can diagnose and fix the problem promptly, so you can get back on the road with a fully functional vehicle.
The starter, alternator, battery, wiring, cables, and sensors all work together to keep the various parts of your vehicle running properly. When one component malfunctions, it can affect many different systems. Your car's electrical system controls:
All it takes is one damaged wire or sensor to create serious problems for your vehicle. Our shop is ready to provide effective diagnostics and repair services when you have electrical concerns.
Many of the problems you can have with a vehicle extend from the electrical system. Sensors that go bad or wiring connection problems can all lead to issues. Some signs to watch for that indicate you need to have your electrical systems checked include:
Burning Smells. If you're smelling a burning rubber or melting plastic smell, it can indicate an electrical short somewhere in the vehicle. When the wire draws more current than it should from the battery, the plastic insulation around it will melt, causing the smell. This means you need immediate service to rule out any serious or dangerous issues.
Dim or Flickering Lights. If the lights in your vehicle go dim or start to flicker, it can indicate a problem with the battery or the electrical system.
Failing Electronics. If your electronics, like the built-in GPS or the radio, aren't working properly, the car could have a wiring issue or blown fuse. Our team can find the root of the problem to get the system working as it should.
Check Engine Light. If the check engine light comes on, it could be due to a sensor problem in your electrical system. Bring it in, and we will pull the diagnostic code to get you on the road to a quality repair.
No Turn Over. If you turn the key but the engine doesn't respond, or responds with just clicking, it could be electrical problems. The alternator or a dead battery are common culprits.
Poor Performance. If you're getting less fuel efficiency or notice changes in your vehicle's performance, consider electrical problems as a potential source.
If you're noticing these or other problems with your electrical systems, our team is ready to assist. Stop in for a thorough evaluation of your electrical systems.
We offer electrical system diagnosis, maintenance, repair, and replacement services.

You are probably wondering about the same questions we get asked all the time.
A wire that is buried carries a radio signal (harmless) around the designated boundary . Your dog(s) are fitted with a small receiver that is worn on the collar that picks up the signal transmitted by the boundary wire and gives a warning beep when the receiver is too close.
Stimulation has been used in dog training for over 40 years. The correction is strong enough to reinforce your dog's good behavior, not to hurt him. The amount of correction can be adjusted so that a dog receives the appropriate level of stimulation for its size and personality.
These systems go by many names, dog fence, hidden pet fence, electric invisible fence, electronic dog fence, etc. However, all these systems run on radio signals. The transmitter emits a signal to the receiver on the dog's collar, which then emits an audible warning to warn your dog when he gets too close to the boundary; followed by a mild correction, if he crosses into the designated signal field.
At K9 Guard, we care about your dog as much as you do. K9Guard has over 20 years of success in containing dogs with hidden fences that are simple to use and highly effective. Our mission statement is 100% pet containment – all the time. It starts with a quality product and professional installation.

Happy Customers
Karla M.
We are so happy that we decided to go with a hidden dog fence from K9 Guard. My husband and I were concerned about putting in a traditional fence with all the paperwork required for the HOA, not to mention the cost. At first we were hesitant that hidden pet fence would be effective, but we have been pleasantly surprised that our bichon took to the training so quickly. Since we had this fence installed, my dog has not left the yard once and he has had many temptations to do so. Thank you!!!
I am writing to thank you for all your efforts in getting our hidden fence installed and going over a customized training plan for our two boston terriers. The fence installation was terrific and barely noticeably in our yard, aside from the flags. The system is so easy to use and the training was much easier than anticipated. Our little guys love roaming the yard with unobstructed views. We are so happy with this fence. Many thanks!
Brian and Leslie
Rex is doing great on the fence! One week and he is trained and loving running in the yard. I can't tell you how much I love the fence, and how impressed I was with your installation, explanations, and training…put me down as one HAPPY customer!
Phil and Eleanor
Having a hidden dog fence installed was the best thing that ever happened for our pets. We highly recommend K9Guard. The system gives them the freedom to be themselves…is very cost effective considering the cost of fencing in a yard. We are still free to enjoy the views of our yard without any obstructions, and enjoy watching our dogs run and play.
Nancy K.
After months of dealing with our HOA to get a new fence installed, my husband and I were fed up so we decided to have a hidden fence installed. We are so happy that we did. The cost was less than half of the fence that we planned on installing and it seems to be just as effective. We are really happy with our new fence and K9Guard was professional in every way.
Jennifer F.
We are very satisfied with our new invisible fence. It was a significant cost savings over a vinyl fence and the dogs love the full yard freedom. Aside from the flags around the perimeter of our yard, you couldn't even tell anything was done at our property. The installer was very meticulous and did a great job and went over the training program with us. Overall, we are very happy so far with our choice to go with K9 Guard based on price and the service provided.
Susan G.
Thank you do much for installing our K9Guard Fence! It's only beeen a week and a half and Lady has been off her leash in the yard all weekend, and is doing great. It's amazing how fast she learned her boundaries. I must say that it was money well spent, and the peace of mind that she will stay in the yard is… priceless.
One of the things you can't easily quantify or put words to, but is by far the most important point to mention, is the increase in Mollie's quality of life. From the moment the system was installed, she has truly been happier all around. My only wish is that we had done this sooner… Mollie knows her boundaries, and given the flexibility of the K9Guard system, she now has a great space to run and play. I would recommend (and already have) this system to anyone and everyone with a dog- it's no comparison to the alternatives… this is the way to go hands down.
Stephanie C.
Annie, our smooth collie, is like a new dog since you installed our K9Guard System. It took just three days to train Annie, and everyone in the family is happier; especially Annie. She has the freedom to run as she pleases and at the same time, she is safe, and we have peace of mind.
Danielle S.
Well, both dogs are pretty much with the program! Yesterday there were all in the yard, and I had to run out to the garbage truck- always a BIG attraction for them. Even though the truck was idling right outside our driveway and I was over the fence line, they respected the fence completely and didn't even bark more than once or twice. So it is really working! It's been a pleasure meeting you and doing business. I really appreciate the energy, integrity and obvious care for your customers.
Donna P.
I want to thank you for all your efforts in getting our new pet fence installed and the training that you provided. It's really simple system to use, which is perfect for us. So far, it is working our really well and little Sammy has learned the boundaries quickly. Thank you!
Barbara K.
This fence has been absolutely wonderful!
We are all so happy with the new hidden fence. Our golden retriever loves her freedom and seemed to understand from the beginning that her new collar would improve her quality of life…even though we live on a quiet road, before we had our new fence installed, she felt the need to visit everyone on foot, in cars, or on horseback. It's a relief not to worry about that anymore. The K9Guard did a great job installing the new system and explaining the training regimen. They truly make the effort and stand behind the product.
Great product, service and people. Keep up the great work.
Meghan K.
Thank you for a great job. Aside from the flags around the property, I can barely tell anything was done. Very professional installation!
Sarah H.
We are very happy that we chose your company to install our underground fence. It has been such a relief to not worry abou the dogs running away! We're wondering how we lived so long without it!
Well, it took some effort to get Remy to learn the new system, but he now understands and respects the boundary. Thanks for a simple effective system with minimal disruption to our yard.
The fence is working wonderfully well. Sam learned quickly and he is well contained! Thanks for a great job!

Bella Swan has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for — a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires — James, Laurent and Victoria — come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life? (Source)

Meteor falls in Russia, 700 injured by blasts
MOSCOW, Feb 15 (AP): A meteor streaked through the sky and exploded Friday over Russia's Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb, its sonic blasts shattering countless windows and injuring more than 750 people. The spectacle deeply frightened thousands, with some elderly women declaring the world was coming to an end. The meteor – estimated to be about 10 tons – entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph) and shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement. It released the energy of several kilotons above the Chelyabinsk region, the academy said. Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky about 9:20 a.m. local time, just after sunrise, leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash. "There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people's houses to check if they were OK," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, a city of 1 million about 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow. "We saw a big burst of light, then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone. The explosions broke an estimated 100,000 square meters (more than 1 million square feet) of glass, city officials said. The city administration said 758 people sought medical care after the explosions and most were injured by shards of glass. Athletes at a city sports arena were among those cut up by the flying glass. It was not immediately clear if any people were struck by space fragments. Another Chelyabinsk resident, Valya Kazakov, said some elderly women in his neighborhood started crying out that the world was ending. City officials said 3,000 buildings in the city were damaged by the shock wave, including a zinc factory where part of the roof collapsed. Small pieces of space debris – usually parts of comets or asteroids – that are on a collision course with the Earth are called meteoroids. They become meteors when they enter the Earth's atmosphere. Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere, but if they survive the frictional heating and strike the surface of the Earth they are called meteorites. Meteors typically cause sizeable sonic booms when they enter the atmosphere because they are traveling much faster than the speed of sound. Injuries on the scale reported Friday, however, are extraordinarily rare. The meteor hit less than a day before the asteroid 2012 DA14 is to make the closest recorded pass of an asteroid to the Earth – about 17,150 miles (28,000 kilometers). But the European Space Agency in a tweet said its experts had determined there was no connection. Some fragments fell in a reservoir outside the town of Cherbakul, the regional governor's office said, according to the ITAR-Tass. A six-meter-wide (20-foot-wide) crater was found in the same area, which could come from space fragments striking the ground, the news agency cited military spokesman Yaroslavl Roshchupkin as saying. Reports conflicted on what exactly happened in the clear skies. A spokeswoman for the Emergency Ministry, Irina Rossius, told the AP there was a meteor shower, but another ministry spokeswoman, Elena Smirnikh, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying it was a single meteor. Donald Yeomans, manager of the U.S. Near Earth Object Program in California, said he thought it was probably "an exploding fireball event." "If the reports of ground damage can be verified, it might suggest an object whose original size was several meters in extent before entering the atmosphere, fragmenting and exploding due to the unequal pressure on the leading side vs. the trailing side (it pancaked and exploded)," Yeoman said in an email. "It is far too early to provide estimates of the energy released or provide a reliable estimate of the original size," Yeomans added. The site of Friday's spectacular show is about 5,000 kilometers (3,000 miles) west of Tunguska, which 1908 was the site of the largest recorded explosion of a space object plunging to Earth. That blast, attributed to a comet or asteroid fragment, is generally estimated to have been about 10 megatons; it leveled some 80 million trees. The dramatic events prompted an array of reactions from prominent Russians. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, speaking at an economic forum in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, said the meteor could be a symbol for the forum, showing that "not only the economy is vulnerable, but the whole planet." Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a nationalist leader noted for vehement statements, said "It's not meteors falling. It's the test of a new weapon by the Americans," the RIA Novosti news agency reported. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said the incident showed the need for leading world powers to develop a system to intercept objects falling from space. "At the moment, neither we nor the Americans have such technologies" to shoot down meteors or asteroids, he said, according to the Interfax news agency.]]>

24 to 36 hours later you take the second set of pills – which we will send home with you – that will begin the miscarriage. You will want to be home for at least 12 hours after taking these pills.
Why do I have to come back 3 weeks later? in Dunkirk NY
Three weeks after taking the abortion pill in Dunkirk NY, you will need to return to our office for a follow-up sonogram in a urine test make sure that your pregnancy has completely cleared.
There is a 5% chance with the non-surgical abortion that not all tissue will pass, and you will need a suction procedure afterwards. If you retain the tissue and don't follow up, you risk infection.
How To Take The Abortion Pill And What To Expect Dunkirk NY
Step One: Taking the abortion pill
The first step in the non-surgical abortion in Dunkirk New York, otherwise known as the abortion by pill, is the office visit.
When you arrive at the office, you will be greeted by professional staff to answer your questions and support you through the process of your private abortion in Dunkirk NY. You will be asked to fill out a medical history questionnaire to better inform the doctors so that they can best address your unique medical questions and concerns.
Once you are registered, we will perform some basic testing to verify your pregnancy and overall health. This includes a urine test, a blood test and a sonogram.
The doctor must make sure that you are at least five weeks into the pregnancy, so that an ectopic pregnancy can safely be ruled out by sonogram. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious medical condition where the pregnancy is developing outside of the uterus. As the pregnancy gets larger it can rupture the fallopian tubes and cause heavy bleeding. When this occurs, the abortion pill is not effective. If the pregnancy is not seen on the sonogram you may be given blood tests to check for Beta HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). The level of this hormone in your blood can help indicate whether you are simply too early for the abortion pill or are at risk of ectopic pregnancy. This risk is why you cannot use the abortion pill in Dunkirk New York before 5 weeks into a pregnancy. If you are diagnosed early with an ectopic pregnancy, it can be treated with a non-surgical abortion in Dunkirk New York by simply giving you an injection. For this reason, it is important you come in for an evaluation as soon as you think you are pregnant.
You must be at less than 8 weeks gestation because beyond that point the effectiveness of the non-surgical abortion in Dunkirk NY drops significantly. There are times that despite taking the pill, not all of the pregnancy tissue leaves the uterus. If this happens, you must have a surgical procedure. This only happens in about 5% of cases before 8 weeks of gestation. Therefore, we only occasionally provide the abortion pill in cases where a pregnancy is greater than 8 weeks.
Your office visit also allows the doctor the opportunity to address your emotional and psychological needs while also ruling out any other conditions which would keep you from being a good candidate for the abortion pill in Dunkirk NY. Certain medicines or medical conditions may make the abortion pill less effective or put your health at risk. Please make sure your doctor is aware of all medical conditions, especially bleeding or clotting problems, which might increase your risk during the abortion pill process.
This time also allows you to ask questions regarding how the abortion pill works and what you will experience. It gives you time to confirm your decision regarding not only your abortion, but whether you wish to have an abortion by pill or switch to the surgical procedure or aspiration procedure.
Once you and your doctor are both satisfied that you are ready your doctor will have you take the Mifepristone tablet (the abortion pill) in the office. You must take the abortion pill in office at Parkmed NYC because of the FDA regulations regarding distribution of this medication.
This medication stops the development of the pregnancy by blocking the hormone Progesterone. Mifepristone can cause dizziness, nausea and period-like spotting however, but most individuals do not experience these side effects.
At this time the doctor will provide you with an envelope containing 800 mcg of a second medication, Misoprostol. This medication is for you to take at home 24 to 48 hours after you have taken the first pill.
Step Two: 24 to 36 hours after you have seen the physician
We recommend that you find a time where you can be at home and comfortable. You will want to be near a bathroom and in a place where you can relax as much as possible. Once you are ready, you will then put the tablets of the second medication, Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec) inside your cheeks to let them dissolve.
This medication makes your uterus contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. Usually individuals start to have cramping and bleeding between 1 to 4 hours after taking this medication. Keep in mind that this process is different for every individual. You are encouraged to take pain medication to help moderate the cramping during this phase of the abortion pill process in Dunkirk New York. Even with pain medication you should expect to feel cramping. The medication serves to make it less intense and more comfortable. Pain may also be reduced by resting and using heating pads or hot water bottles on your back or stomach. If the pain medication does not seem to be having any effect, please contact the office to discuss this with the nurse or doctor.
You will eventually begin to have heavy period-like bleeding and start passing blood clots. At times these clots may be quite large. This is normal during the process, however, if you are concerned you can contact our office 24 hours a day with questions or concerns about your process. Do not feel alone or afraid while having the non–surgical abortion in Dunkirk NY. At Parkmed NYC, we have highly trained and sensitive staff available to support you and answer your questions 24 hours a day. You are invited to call with your concerns at any time, seven days a week. We want to hear from you no matter the time or day. If you are completely soaking through more than two maxi pads for two consecutive hours, contact Parkmed NYC as soon as possible. This amount of blood is considered heavy bleeding and could be a serious hazard.
To help keep your private abortion in Dunkirk New York as safe as possible, it is our practice to also prescribe you prophylactic antibiotics. You should take the first antibiotic when you start to have bleeding so help protect yourself from any possible infection as your cervix is slightly open during this process.
The pregnancy tissue usually passes unnoticed because you are early in the pregnancy. It may appear in the form of a large blood clot or it may be recognizable as a small white form. Don't be alarmed. This is normal, but simply seeing what you believe is the pregnancy tissue does not mean that the procedure is 100% complete. This can only be verified at your follow up visit. If during this process you begin to have a fever over 100.3°F degrees for more than 24 hours, or vomiting which persists for 4 to 6 hours, please contact the office to speak with the nurse or doctor.
This visit will include a urine test, sonogram and exam by the doctor. These tests are performed to make sure that the process is complete. The urine test verifies that your hormone levels have returned to a non-pregnant level. The sonogram allows the doctor to verify that there is no tissue or excess blood remaining in your uterus. You may still be spotting at this time, but it is important to come in for this visit anyway. Once the doctor meets with you and verifies that you are no longer pregnant with no tissue remaining you can consider the abortion pill process Dunkirk NY complete.

Some people approach buying a car like they approach marriage, "'til death do us part." Others prefer to keep their options open, trading in every few years for the latest make and model, the most cutting-edge technology, or the highest horsepower. Whichever describes you best, we all face a similar decision when it comes to acquiring a car: finance, lease, or pay cash.
When shopping for new vehicles, about one-quarter of consumers choose to lease, while the majority choose to finance. From an investment perspective, which choice is best? That depends on your lifestyle, cash flow, and personal preferences.1
For many, paying cash for a car is the simplest way to get one. When you drive off the lot, you own the vehicle outright and are free to do whatever you want with it. You face no penalties or mileage restrictions, and you have no monthly payments. However, you have paid cash for a vehicle that is expected to depreciate over time.
Financing a new car requires a smaller initial outlay of money, usually 20% or more of the vehicle's value, in the form of a down payment. When you drive off the lot, the bank owns the car, not you. As with most loans, you make monthly payments of principal and interest with the promise of eventual ownership. The amount of your payment depends on a variety of factors, including the value of the car, the length of the loan, and the interest rate offered by the lender. Car dealers sometimes will offer "no money down" or low annual percentage rate loans, which can make financing more manageable.2
If you like to have a new car every few years, leasing is an approach to consider. Leasing a car is like renting an apartment. You pay a monthly fee to use the car for a specific amount of time, usually two to three years. Monthly payments are typically lower than when you finance, since you are paying for the depreciation on the car while you drive it. In certain situations, lease payments may also have tax considerations. However, there are caveats to leasing. For one, a lease typically stipulates the number of miles you are permitted to drive during the course of the lease. At the end of your lease, you may face penalties if you have exceeded the total number of miles in the contract.3,4
Whatever your relationship with your car, it may eventually come time for a new one. Familiarize yourself with your options. You may find that changing your strategy makes sense in light of your lifestyle or financial situation.

And let's look now at some disturbing health news. At study out from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows women are dying from overdoses of prescription painkillers at a much higher rate than men. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: Men still die from these overdoses at a higher rate than women. Women are dying from the overdoses at a much higher rate than ever before.]
Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of women overdosing. NPR's Patti Neighmond reports.
PATTI NEIGHMOND, BYLINE: CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden told reporters women are dying of overdoses at rates never seen before.
TOM FRIEDEN: Prescription painkiller deaths have skyrocketed in women. In 2010, more than 6,600 women died from prescription painkillers, four times as many as died from cocaine and heroin combined.
NEIGHMOND: And the number of women showing up in hospital ERs who've overdosed on opiod painkillers like Vicodin and Oxycontin is also on the rise. It's unclear how many women used medication they obtained illegally and how many were prescribed it. But Frieden says the increase in drug overdoses and deaths directly parallels an increase in prescriptions for pain medication.
Pain specialists Lynn Webster is president of the American Academy of Pain Medicine. He says women often unknowingly end up with medications that, when combined, are dangerous.
LYNN WEBSTER: Because they're often stereotyped as being more emotional or more psychological, and their first line of therapy often is a sedative or something that treats the emotional side, as opposed to the pain.
NEIGHMOND: And if they're later prescribed a powerful opiod to treat pain, the combination can be fatal. In the federal report, older women between the ages of 45 and 54 were at highest risk of abusing pain medication.
WEBSTER: There are more medications that are used at that age. Maybe they've been on medications for a longer period of time. People are very interested in getting back to their lives, and so they're looking for medications to help them get their life back.
NEIGHMOND: CDC director Frieden calls for greater awareness - both in the medical community and among the public - of the risk and potential for abuse of pain medication. Pain experts agree there are alternatives to medication. Acupuncture, exercise and cognitive behavior therapy have all been shown to help patients manage chronic pain.
But typically, they're not covered by insurance, so by default, says Webster, doctors prescribe and patients take medication. Patti Neighmond, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
