Things I feel I’m owed:
more time with my dad
having him walk me down the aisle
never forgetting the sound of his voice
seeing him become a grandpa
MY DAD
Dolly Parton reveals that the real Jolene was actually just a little red-headed girl asking for an autograph.
“There was a little girl at one of our shows. She was a little red-headed girl, pretty as she could be. She came up to get an autograph.”
“She said, ‘Would you sign it to Jolene?’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s a pretty name, I’m gonna write a song about you.’”
“I said, ‘If you ever hear a song on the radio called Jolene, you’ll know it’s about you.’”
“I got back to the bus and I was singing, ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene’ just so I wouldn’t forget the name.”
“That’s why the whole chorus is pretty much just saying the word Jolene.”
I’ve said it before but if ANTI is her last album it’s the perfect album to close out an iconic discography. Hit after hit still hitting 10 years later
A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.
