Today Joe and I
went to USC for a genetic screening ultrasound. I couldn’t have it done at my regular doctor office because
they don’t have the super advanced equipment for it. It was just a really super magnified ultrasound. I had to go to a USC medical center in
Mission Hills. The paper work was
extensive and ridiculous. Like how
much information do they actually need?
And how many times are they going to ask me to fill in the same exact
information. I honestly just
didn’t bother to fill out some parts.
They have a copy of my insurance card, I’m not going to individually
write it all out.
The ultrasound
was quick. I think it literally
took 5 minutes. We only got to see
the baby briefly. She had to
measure it’s face and head so she took some pictures of it. We got to see the outline of its
face. It was so funny because the
baby had one of its legs sticking straight up in the air. It looked so funny. The test results were negative, so far
so good.
We were right
near Forneris Farms so we stopped to get some fresh produce. We saw farmer John (he’s friends with
Joe’s dad and has known Joe since he was a child). It was sad to hear the farm wasn’t doing that good. There is literally only two farms left
in the valley. He says he enjoys
farming just as much as he always did but profit has dropped dramatically and
the price of leasing the land and paying for water is very high. He doesn’t know how long he’ll still be
running the farm. It made me so
sad to think of farms going away.
We got some tomatoes and corn.
I got really sad to think our kids might not know what a real tomato is
supposed to taste like. Or
strawberries. So red, delicious
and juicy. The stuff at the
supermarket is crap. Juiceless and
flavorless. People are really
missing out on life and future generations are really going to miss out
too. It’s really sad.
