Felicia Devine: Yeah. Yeah. Cause I'm sure there were people at that wedding that like. I don't know
Natalie Richards: Yeah, I don't know.
Felicia Devine: Like. do you think the Do you think the bug was transferred from a food item or do you think your bug was transferred from a human?
Natalie Richards: That's what they think. I think it was a food situation.
Felicia Devine: Hmm.
Natalie Richards: Pretty sure. Mmhmm.
Felicia Devine: Like a like a spinach thing, like... What?
Natalie Richards: It was like... So the only things that Kyle, like there were definitely some salads that were sitting there. That were really...

Natalie Richards: I just eat meat and potatoes. I don't have a problem.
Felicia Devine: Kyle's like, I'm simple as it comes. Oh my gosh.
Natalie Richards: They had like a couple salads that were out for sure. And I don't, you don't know like what the. preparation situation is at these venues.
Felicia Devine: Or the mayonnaise. Hmm.
Natalie Richards: So it was like like a couscous salad and a watermelon like feta thing, and those kind of just sat out. Then it was The only other things were like carrots and sand the salmon was the only thing I was thinking.

Felicia Devine: Not what you ate had.
Natalie Richards: that had something in it and it just didn't affect me the same way.
Felicia Devine: Everyone has tapeworms now.

Natalie Richards: <unk> situation.
Felicia Devine: Okay.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: Because there's food poisoning and then there's food. toxicity.
Natalie Richards: right. So...

Felicia Devine: But like, if I see other people vomiting, I'm like, I'm ill. like I yeah, I just like don't like it.
Natalie Richards: I have a problem. mm -hmm

Natalie Richards: mm -hmm
Felicia Devine: I don't know. I just don't do well with GI.
Natalie Richards: so

Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: I'll just wait a second. I'll go to a gas station or whatever.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Right.
Natalie Richards: So we left. Of course, the only gas station in this whole town is a 7 -Eleven with a cafe. And it was it was lunchtime on a Tuesday. And every St.
Natalie Richards: Kyle goes, I think every single blue collar worker in the whole county is here right now. like
Felicia Devine: here eating their lunch.
Natalie Richards: There wasn't a single parking spot. There wasn't a single pump open. There wasn't, it they were parked along the edges of the part of the.

Natalie Richards: Yeah pretty much. and
Felicia Devine: Now, did you tell Kyle you had like an upset stomach?
Natalie Richards: I mean, kind I was like, I really have to. It was kind of like, it's always the running joke that in the altitude, we always have to poop like five times a day. So it was like not necessarily like.
Felicia Devine: Oh, okay.
Natalie Richards: out of the ordinary
Felicia Devine: Abnormal. Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie Richards: It just was like...

Felicia Devine: Like if you do nothing, which I have been doing stuff, but like if you do nothing, you should start to feel normal around six months.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: Okay.
Felicia Devine: I will say. I have felt. significantly better Then I did. So like I rode a bike. Maybe.
Felicia Devine: six to eight weeks ago. I had Giuseppe, I was riding the mountain bike.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: and giuseppe has like a shotgun seat so it's like a seat with handlebars in front of it
Natalie Richards: Yeah. Right.
Felicia Devine: I rode the bike for 10 minutes with him on it in our neighborhood. And our neighborhood has some like pitch to it. It's it's definitely not flat.
Natalie Richards: Mm -hmm. It's Philly
Felicia Devine: But I was. I had him for 10 minutes. i I think I told you this story. I got off the bike.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: I was like laying in the front yard, like literally thinking I was going to pass out.
Natalie Richards: Yeah, dead uh -huh
Felicia Devine: I was like, Dan, I don't feel good. like It was not good. Ugh. Why is it wanting to quit my applications? I'm sorry if this is i'm not gonna work i don't know what's going on okay
Natalie Richards: Well we'll see.
Felicia Devine: so
Natalie Richards: My nose.
Felicia Devine: i just have I just have all these pop -up windows. I don't even know if I can see you anymore.
Natalie Richards: Really?
Felicia Devine: Okay.
Natalie Richards: Oh, God.
Felicia Devine: We're going to continue. I don't know why it says my system has run out of application memory, which is so weird. I don't know what that means.
Natalie Richards: Your computer probably.
Felicia Devine: So should I just like shut other things down? I don't know.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: Okay, so Anyway, I... look like A zillion tabs open, Natalie.
Natalie Richards: That might be why.
Felicia Devine: Not gonna lie. Wait, hold on. Don't don't let me lose you. Okay. So anyway, I have been doing like the. like classic high rocks workouts where you like run.
Felicia Devine: for a duration of time and then you do like fatigued work so like burpee squats, lunges, pushups, like all that kind of stuff.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: and then Like. I feel. Rather. normal for the fatigue.
Natalie Richards: Okay.
Felicia Devine: Like. I don't feel like I'm going to pass out.
Natalie Richards: Like yeah.
Felicia Devine: I don't feel like I have like lightheadedness. I don't feel like. I'm dizzy. Like all the symptoms I had, like.
Natalie Richards: Okay.
Felicia Devine: Eat. plus in like since the miscarriage.
Natalie Richards: Yep.
Felicia Devine: Those symptoms have like significantly subsided.
Natalie Richards: Okay.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: Good.
Natalie Richards: Amazing. That reminds me, I have to.
Felicia Devine: So that's really encouraging because I feel like.
Natalie Richards: I have to talk about something else in a second We'll talk about it.
Felicia Devine: Uh oh. Okay. So yeah, I do feel like I'm getting to the point where I'm like feeling a lot better. which is good because I feel like that's perfect timing because I think I would feel really discouraged if I started doing like the high rocks training and
Natalie Richards: Awesome.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: felt really really terrible. So... i don't know
Natalie Richards: And you have until February.
Felicia Devine: I have until February. And I feel like that's a really fun thing to like. get me through the winter because i just
Natalie Richards: It is.
Felicia Devine: The winter just stinks. I'm just not a winter girly in Pennsylvania.
Natalie Richards: Yeah, it does.
Felicia Devine: Like, obviously I love skiing and I love like winter activities, but.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: You know, it's just like. the mundane like it gets dark at four o 'clock in the afternoon like it just not
Natalie Richards: I know. And it's gloomy gray.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: yeah i get it and you're redoing your basement.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. So I'm excited. Yeah, it's done.
Natalie Richards: so It's awesome.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, it took us about...
Natalie Richards: I wanna see the pictures.
Felicia Devine: i don't know like two weeks not even two weeks i'm like so delayed on uploading videos though because it's a lot of work to like film and edit and upload look so but yeah we color drenched the room we added in like all these gym mirrors
Natalie Richards: Yeah. To edit, yeah. Yes.
Felicia Devine: it looks so cool
Natalie Richards: Awesome.
Felicia Devine: We got like a cork floor.
Natalie Richards: Awesome.
Felicia Devine: And we did like rope lighting on the floorboard. So it's like. moody like you can change the color we got the sauna
Natalie Richards: mm -hmm You got the sauna. That was cool.
Felicia Devine: The sauna's so cool.
Natalie Richards: Yeah, i love I've seen those before.
Felicia Devine: It is so nice.
Natalie Richards: It looks awesome. this week.
Felicia Devine: And like I've always been like a clear light.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: like ride or die. This is... equal, if not better.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: and in quality.
Natalie Richards: and convenient and it's like smaller
Felicia Devine: mm -hmm yeah it's only a three foot by three foot footprint so it really is compact and like my brother's six six
Natalie Richards: for something like
Natalie Richards: That's crazy.
Felicia Devine: He sat in it the other day comfortably.
Natalie Richards: Oh awesome.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. So like, it's not like you look at it and you're like, no way does anybody fit in there.
Natalie Richards: Very cool.
Natalie Richards: Uh -huh.
Felicia Devine: But I mean, it's honestly like very. convenient.
Natalie Richards: Cool, okay good.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. So I love that. We got that. We're gonna, I think, buy a treadmill. because
Natalie Richards: Just to have something.
Felicia Devine: I've been running outside, but like. after bedtime like i'm not gonna go running outside and do a workout outdoors so
Natalie Richards: No. Not when it's winter and it's...
Felicia Devine: yeah so I think we might get a treadmill to do like more of that like high rocks cross training but
Natalie Richards: No.
Natalie Richards: Yeah. Yeah.
Felicia Devine: yeah
Natalie Richards: are you going to train for the ski erg and all that stuff? Like, how are you going to do that?
Felicia Devine: Yeah. So I've just seen some other things about like. how to train the muscle groups and the endurance for doing that movement.
Natalie Richards: who Okay.
Felicia Devine: Obviously, it would be way way more. convenient to like own them.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: But we owned a row machine for like 48 hours and then Dan sold it. He bought like a brand new rower.
Natalie Richards: that's so
Felicia Devine: Did I tell you this?
Natalie Richards: No!
Felicia Devine: He bought a brand new rower, had it delivered to the house. I was like, what the heck is that? put it in the basement, installed it, and then literally got on it and it was slipping. Like he was too strong for it.
Natalie Richards: Oh no. Oh, okay.
Felicia Devine: like the magnet. And it was a concept. Like it wasn't a.
Natalie Richards: Okay. Yeah, not bad.
Felicia Devine: cheap one it was like a it was the name brand
Natalie Richards: Interesting.
Felicia Devine: And it kept slipping. He couldn't get the resistance to be strong enough, even with the damper.
Natalie Richards: Danny's legs.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: Legs are too strong.
Felicia Devine: yeah so then he was like well this is like defeats the purpose of owning a rower and so he sold it
Natalie Richards: Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Felicia Devine: Which kind of stinks because now I don't have a rower.
Natalie Richards: Right.
Felicia Devine: but we hadn't signed up for the high rocks yet. Like he bought this like a week before we signed up, sold it.
Natalie Richards: And sold it. And then he said.
Felicia Devine: And then we signed up for the high rocks like four days later.
Natalie Richards: So there may be some some new things coming into your home that...
Felicia Devine: And I was like, h Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so. I've been looking at like some pulley systems.
Natalie Richards: You could get like a water one of the water rowers or whatever.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, but those take up so much room.
Natalie Richards: They do. They do.
Felicia Devine: Ugh, the water rowers take up forever.
Natalie Richards: They do.
Felicia Devine: Or take up a lot of score footage.
Natalie Richards: Yeah. Yeah.
Felicia Devine: But... The pulley system I was looking at, you could like... use as like
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: a skier obviously it like skiers a lot of like triceps so like doing a lot of that we're gonna be skiing a lot this winter so like
Natalie Richards: mm -hmm
Natalie Richards: mm -hmm that's true
Felicia Devine: Literally.
Natalie Richards: You're going to be fine.
Felicia Devine: I'm gonna be doing that.
Natalie Richards: And that part, like you're, I think you could do that movement. If you have the endurance for stuff like it's going to be fine.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you can also.
Natalie Richards: the wall balls, like there's so many rules. I never realized how many rules there are like you
Felicia Devine: There are so many rules.
Felicia Devine: If - if - Yeah.
Natalie Richards: have to like be do so do things like perfectly for them to count as a rep.
Felicia Devine: Perfectly. And there's certain things like as the supporting partner, you can and cannot do like you cannot touch the ground.
Natalie Richards: Yes.
Felicia Devine: You cannot like you have to follow behind them.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: You can't be next to them. You can't touch them.
Natalie Richards: Mm -hmm.
Felicia Devine: You can't like all these like different things that like you just have to know before you do the race.
Natalie Richards: Yeah, it's crazy.
Felicia Devine: so yeah We've been trying to study. We're also trying to pick out our outfits.
Natalie Richards: Obviously, as is Kyle.
Felicia Devine: because we're outfit people.
Natalie Richards: mm -hmm Uh -huh.
Felicia Devine: And yeah, so there's like, it's just. It's exciting. It's a lot of fun.
Natalie Richards: It is exciting.
Felicia Devine: And I can't wait to see you.
Natalie Richards: I know that's the best part. I can't wait.
Felicia Devine: I know. I'm like, we're gonna have about a weekend together.
Natalie Richards: So Kyle... Kyle's doing the race with... somebody that he went to high school with. But she apparently...
Felicia Devine: Okay. yeah I couldn't figure it out. We were like, who is this person?
Natalie Richards: Yeah. I don't know.
Natalie Richards: That's a great question.
Felicia Devine: Apparently.
Natalie Richards: I don't know.
Felicia Devine: Though, I think she's fit though.
Natalie Richards: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he said that she that she won the CrossFit Regionals.
Felicia Devine: I think she just crossed it.
Natalie Richards: around us.
Felicia Devine: Boom.
Natalie Richards: So like she's capable.
Felicia Devine: oh Oh.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: She's good.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: Okay.
Natalie Richards: so
Felicia Devine: Good good good
Natalie Richards: yeah he might be the one that's dragging the team down
Felicia Devine: me Yeah, but he can run
Natalie Richards: What? yeah he can yeah He has to train, but yes.
Felicia Devine: Wah.
Natalie Richards: No.
Felicia Devine: that's going to be Danny's hardest.
Natalie Richards: Here's the thing about Kyle.
Felicia Devine: thing.
Natalie Richards: He can do anything.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, that's how Dan is too.
Natalie Richards: Okay, like he could go into this and not train and would
Felicia Devine: Mm hmm. Yeah.
Natalie Richards: kill himself, but he - would do it.
Felicia Devine: He would do it. Yeah.
Natalie Richards: and So I'm not too worried about him, but.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, me I'm not worried about Danny.
Natalie Richards: and
Felicia Devine: Only... his knees physically exploding from running.
Natalie Richards: Yeah. it's Literally, yes.
Felicia Devine: been
Natalie Richards: like will he actually be able to do that but the good the only good thing is that it's like It's what, .6 miles?
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Yes. Yes.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, it's a 1K.
Natalie Richards: like a little over a mile like half a mile
Felicia Devine: Yeah. It's a little over half a mile each time.
Natalie Richards: each time.
Felicia Devine: So in between you do get to rest, like technically you do get to rest because you're, if your partner's working, like you get to recover.
Natalie Richards: So like...
Natalie Richards: With the partner one. you totally do it's it's gonna be really hard but you know what you're gonna do it
Felicia Devine: Yeah. So. Yeah. well it's gonna be really hard for the girls because we have to do men's weight
Natalie Richards: I know
Felicia Devine: Which like...
Natalie Richards: That's...
Felicia Devine: I get, but it still stinks.
Natalie Richards: I know. I'm like, i I told Kyle I want to. practice the sled push with him because I
Felicia Devine: s slide push Do you guys have a sled?
Natalie Richards: Yeah, he has one. I feel like I could totally do it
Felicia Devine: Does he? it do you guys have like a skier? Like what else do you guys have?
Natalie Richards: He has a skierg at the fire station that he can go use.
Felicia Devine: oh
Natalie Richards: Which is nice.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: So he can go do that.
Felicia Devine: Do you guys have a row machine?
Natalie Richards: He has a rowing machine. No treadmill, but he's just been doing.
Felicia Devine: Well, you guys have a flat street
Natalie Richards: sprints and stuff Yeah. So he can just...
Felicia Devine: See art.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: I have a 400. uh meter loop i do like it's our cul -de -sac so like from my sidewalk where i start
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: around the cul -de -sac and back is exactly 0 .25.
Natalie Richards: Okay.
Felicia Devine: And so I've been doing 400 meter loops.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: but there's like a slight pitch.
Natalie Richards: Which is good though. I feel like that's better.
Felicia Devine: It's good. Cause it's like. A, good for endurance. B, good for like sled push endurance and stuff like running hills.
Natalie Richards: I feel like that's great
Felicia Devine: But I'm just like.
Natalie Richards: Ugh.
Felicia Devine: exhausted.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: because like Any bit of pitch.
Natalie Richards: I mean, Dan's gonna probably have to do the slide push. And. pull i mean i don't know like that to do a sled pull at that weight
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: I don't...
Felicia Devine: I don't know if my little arms could handle that.
Natalie Richards: I am not sure. Like that's a lot.
Felicia Devine: That's a lot of weight. Now I did hear that the closer the sled gets to you on the sled pole the easier it becomes.
Natalie Richards: That's probably true. So Dan could start it out.
Felicia Devine: So like if Dan did like... two thirds of the sled pole. And then I did the last, like, I don't know, 10 meters that maybe he could like rest for a couple seconds.
Natalie Richards: Sure. A little bit. Okay.
Felicia Devine: at least
Natalie Richards: Sure.
Felicia Devine: seconds minutes
Natalie Richards: but
Felicia Devine: He's going to get a full rest in if I'm pulling that thing 10 meters.
Natalie Richards: 10 meters.
Felicia Devine: No, because that's 30 feet. maybe i'm Maybe I'm pulling it 10 feet.
Natalie Richards: That's a lot yeah
Felicia Devine: I don't know We haven't decided.
Natalie Richards: okay
Felicia Devine: But I don't even know. Like there's a lot of stuff that like I physically am not capable of yet. like 40. pound sandbag. lunges.
Natalie Richards: Lunges? Yeah.
Felicia Devine: Like.
Natalie Richards: Getting the sandbag onto you is the hard part.
Felicia Devine: 40 pounds is... Yeah. Like... I'm sorry. 40 pounds is a lot of weight. Like it's not like, it's not like chump weight.
Natalie Richards: That's a lot.
Felicia Devine: Like I'm not just like throwing these like.
Natalie Richards: No.
Felicia Devine: three pound dumbbells over my shoulder.
Natalie Richards: No.
Felicia Devine: 40 pounds is heavy.
Natalie Richards: gene was Gene was like climbing all over Kyle and I go, he's like, I have to go train. I go, you can train right now. He literally is a 50 pound sandbag on your shoulders.

Natalie Richards: I don't. I know. It was like the dogs flipping out that.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: Gene was coming in. My God.
Felicia Devine: but oh
Natalie Richards: Anyway... back to what whatever we were talking about.
Felicia Devine: anyway We were talking about.
Natalie Richards: We were talking about the high rocks.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, like equipment and stuff, but.
Natalie Richards: yeah yeah yeah Oh, yeah.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: mm -hmm
Natalie Richards: So yeah, he has, he has a lot of stuff to. to train with thankfully but It's going to be hard.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Yeah. Oh. I need to figure out how to train wall balls.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: because like
Natalie Richards: How heavy?
Felicia Devine: I think that's going to be the hardest technically.
Natalie Richards: The wobble is what? Is it 20 pounds or 10?
Felicia Devine: i don't even i didn't even look yet because i'm nervous it's no it's like
Natalie Richards: 12. It's 18, I thought. 16, 18. I thought it was like... i think the women's weight is 12 and then the Men's weight is like 18, I think.
Felicia Devine: I think Dan said he was going to get some medicine balls or like some wall balls, but like, where am I going to throw that?
Natalie Richards: Yeah. Yeah.
Felicia Devine: My ceiling is eight feet tall.
Natalie Richards: Exactly.
Felicia Devine: I'm gonna bust through my roof. I guess you do it outside.
Natalie Richards: Yeah, you'd have to do it on like the side of your house or something.
Felicia Devine: My siding could never.
Natalie Richards: Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
Felicia Devine: I guess some of my house is stoned.
Natalie Richards: And if that ball doesn't hit... It doesn't hit.
Felicia Devine: The target.
Natalie Richards: The Target.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: No rep.
Felicia Devine: It doesn't count. Or if you don't go below parallel, no rep.
Natalie Richards: Mm hmm. mm -hmm

Natalie Richards: Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm Mm -hmm.
Felicia Devine: So, anyway. i'm excited
Natalie Richards: That's the part that's tough. No, I...
Felicia Devine: I'm nervous.
Natalie Richards: I think it's gonna be really fun. It's gonna be a very good challenge for you. but it's gonna be really, really, really hard.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Yeah, but if anything I'll just look cute in my outfit.
Natalie Richards: Mm hmm.

Natalie Richards: Somebody I know, she ended up. She was having a lot of pain. I forget what her first symptoms were. but just like abdominal pain and it just kept getting worse kept getting worse whatever she ended up having an ectopic pregnancy.
Natalie Richards: Okay. So. I mean... The things we know about ectopic pregnancies are Yeah. the the Baby starts to develop in the fallopian tube.
Felicia Devine: Mhm.
Natalie Richards: it ends up if it gets big enough it will burst your yeah it will rupture and you'll internally bleed and it's a really scary
Felicia Devine: will rupture.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: Very scary potential situation, right?
Felicia Devine: mm -hmm
Natalie Richards: So she goes to the hospital. They determine that she's having. that she has an ectopic pregnancy. The treatment for that... First off is methotrexate. which is basically like from what I understand.
Natalie Richards: is something that helps to dissolve. the cells essentially in your body like kind of resorbs what's going on that's the goal. of
Felicia Devine: It's an abortion pill.
Natalie Richards: I don't think it is.
Felicia Devine: Oh.
Natalie Richards: it's I don't think it's the same thing. I'm pretty sure misoprostol is the abortion pill, if I remember correctly, because it's actually stimulating contractions in the uterus.
Felicia Devine: Mm. mm -hmm
Felicia Devine: Mm.
Natalie Richards: But the... this isn't in the uterus. So you don't do the same thing. as that so I think it's a shot like a methotrexate shot I think is what it is And essentially it's supposed to just.
Natalie Richards: Help your body like. absorb the cells. Okay. it's wild right so how things are supposed to happen. is You take the shot.
Natalie Richards: which I'm sure has a million side effects. i mean i Can't even imagine.
Felicia Devine: Literally. What other their cells are you resorbing?
Natalie Richards: what Exactly. I'm thinking that in my head. I'm like, oh, I don't. I like the sound of that. I would honestly, if it were myself, I'd rather go do the laparoscopic surgery right away and know that everything's gone.
Felicia Devine: rather do like
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Right.
Natalie Richards: and be done with it, right?
Felicia Devine: And it's very specific, where it's like us a global injection.
Natalie Richards: Very specific. Yeah, like that doesn't I don't like that. First of all, so
Felicia Devine: mm -hmm
Natalie Richards: she's thinking you know everything's Good. She goes and has a recheck. because they're supposed to check your HCG levels. Like. A few days later, right? So she goes and checks.
Natalie Richards: while they're still increasing. At that time, that wasn't a red flag to anyone.
Felicia Devine: Why?
Natalie Richards: They send her home. She then Has. And basically all they said is, you know, you might have some cramping, you might have some bleeding, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Well, she's in like. crazy pain still, like major, major pain.
Natalie Richards: It gets to a point that she... She then... I think passes out. She's like getting really dizzy Passes out. Thankfully, she's at her parents' house.
Natalie Richards: They, I think she passed out four or five times, something like that. Like she's having major pain. Well, essentially she has to go to the hospital and have emergency surgery because she's bled out so much like she literally was probably internally bleeding for a couple days.
Felicia Devine: Oh she was internally bleeding.
Natalie Richards: Like she was having like major pain. For like. a couple days i think and she thought it was like normal for what she was supposed to be experiencing.
Felicia Devine: Right. Yeah.
Natalie Richards: So I just like... the The whole progression of all of this, it just is so crazy.
Felicia Devine: oh my gosh
Natalie Richards: how it gets to that point.
Felicia Devine: Is she okay now?
Natalie Richards: She is, I mean, she's recovering. She feels like crap because she lost so much blood. It's just like you. She had two blood transfusions.
Felicia Devine: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: in the hospital and obviously the leprechaun laparoscopic surgery had to have her fallopian tube removed.
Felicia Devine: e
Natalie Richards: Like a lot of. like really scary stuff like she totally could have died this is how people die
Felicia Devine: That is how people die.
Natalie Richards: You know?
Felicia Devine: That's where our maternal health rate is like.
Natalie Richards: That's where exactly.
Felicia Devine: Terrible.
Natalie Richards: And my whole thing is like. Are you telling me that she went in and had her HCG levels tested and they were still rising? and nobody did anything about that?
Felicia Devine: And no one thought that was. Yeah.
Natalie Richards: Like what? This isn't rocket science here.
Felicia Devine: Yeah. Right.
Natalie Richards: I just, oh my goodness. So anyway, it was just another, another lovely, another lovely story of.
Felicia Devine: I know. Crazy.
Felicia Devine: of the health healthcare system.
Natalie Richards: our healthcare system.
Felicia Devine: Ugh. spooky I don't like it.
Natalie Richards: Like we should not know more than these people.
Felicia Devine: I know.
Natalie Richards: That's scary.
Felicia Devine: Oh. Get this. I had a patient come in the other day. she I've seen her through a couple pregnancies. This is her third one now. But I haven't seen her since she's been pregnant. And I'm like, oh my gosh, how are you feeling?
Natalie Richards: here
Felicia Devine: Like she's like 20. Seven weeks pregnant now?
Natalie Richards: Okay.
Felicia Devine: So like she kind of like went off the radar, came back, whatever.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Natalie Richards: It happens.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, she was like, oh, like at 17 weeks, I had appendicitis. and had to have her appendix out at 17 weeks pregnant. I go. Oh my gosh.
Natalie Richards: I can't even imagine.
Felicia Devine: Based on how my husband tolerated that.
Natalie Richards: Yeah.
Felicia Devine: Can you imagine being pregnant and tolerating that?
Natalie Richards: No I cannot.
Felicia Devine: I know. crazy.
Natalie Richards: No. No, no, no.
Felicia Devine: crazy. And she had it done by the same surgeon my husband had done by.
Natalie Richards: Wow.
Felicia Devine: Yeah, it was crazy.
Natalie Richards: Ay yai yai.
Felicia Devine: Oh, she's fine, but... obviously like how fine can you be like she has like phantom pain and like so she's scarring and like she's going for her third c -section for this baby like she already has issues with that so I'm like This is so scary.
Natalie Richards: How fine can you be?
Natalie Richards: Oof. Oof.
Felicia Devine: Like everyone should like preemptively have their appendix out.
Natalie Richards: it's
Natalie Richards: just to avoid having to have the emergency
Felicia Devine: Okay. I'm like, oh my God, there's the appendix. I don't know if it's because. Like, you know, when you're like forced into a situation and then you're like, oh, or like. this is a better example like you have a white volkswagen and then you're like oh my god everyone has a white volkswagen because you didn't notice them until you you have one right?
Natalie Richards: yes because you didn't notice them. Yes.
Felicia Devine: Is that the same thing with appendicitis? It's like everyone has appendicitis now that I know. And I'm like. Does everyone have appendicitis or it's just because now I'm aware of it? I don't know.
Natalie Richards: I actually think it is increasing a little bit because.
Felicia Devine: Or is it like... Like everyone has appendicitis.
Natalie Richards: of of our daily stress and from like weird. weird viruses and weird bacterial infections and stuff yeah
