What husbands do in ER while waiting for three hours for the wifey
For the sake of humility
Somewhere, someone in the world can poop on demand. I for one am not one of them. Needless to say, I brought back a specimen to ER after Mass yesterday. One would think that after 7 hours of acute diarrhea (nothing cute about it btw) that I'd have had no problemo using the commode. No such luck. I stared at it. Really? My intestines screamed, Just say no!
I have no idea what was wrong with me, but after cramping that began at 3 p.m. on Saturday accompanied by nausea and severe bloody diarrhea, I decided to make a visit to ER (with the encouragement of my sister and Mom.) Normally, I am taking my children. This time the Knight was taking me. After a plethora of "what it could be", all tests came back negative. Discharge instructions: follow up with my doctor and schedule a colonoscopy. No thanks. Had one 17 years ago.
Hope you are feeling better, Mary! Let me know how everything turns out for you.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I hope you are ok. You don't have time to be sick. I don't know how anyone can poop on command. I sure couldn't do that. Good luck. I'm praying for you!
