Cutting to the chase, Ching had a colonoscopy on Friday. With all the heartburn issues of late and his spotty family medical history, they didn't want to take any chances hence the thorough work up. My worry came from how this was going to work 24 prior to the test since he couldn't eat anything. This is the same man that doesn't believe one should ever be hungry even when he diets. Crap...oh, and that, he did too.
Everything is fine and after the fact, I was amused that he didn't remember me actually coming to get him. I knew he looked like he was a couple of seconds away from a slack jawed drool! But as he is (kind of) sharing this experience with me later in the day, he comes up with this doozy.
CCW: "As I was lying there, I did think of you giving birth. This was probably the closest I would ever come to giving birth."
JCW: He has seemed to forgotten that giving birth, in my situation, involved something the size of a small chicken coming out of another orifice rather than a tube being stuck up my butt. "What do you mean?" This is too easy. I feel like a wolf that has been gifted a chicken coop.
CCW: "You know, lying there on my side waiting for the (drugs) procedure to start."
JCW: "First of all I wouldn't call giving birth a procedure. Were you writhing in pain prior to getting the drugs?"
CCW: "Well, no."
JCW: "Did you think you were going to poop on the table?"
CCW: "No".
JCW: "Did you poop on the table?"
CCW: "No."
JCW: "Were there two people holding your legs as you were trying to gather every ounce of strength?"
CCW: "No."
JCW: "Were you able to cross your legs right after?"
CCW: "Yes, but Jude, I was kind of dazed just like you were?"
JCW: "I don't know where you were when Laurel and Rachel were born but I was sharp as a tack. Very aware of what was going on and the responsibility that was just bestowed on me. No offense but I don't think what happened to you today is any where close to giving birth. What did you leave the hospital with besides a little packet that said you needed more fiber?"
CCW: "Whatever..."
JCW: "My bad Ching, I don't want to take away from your amazing experience. Do you want to show me the picture of your colon?"
CCW: "Sure do!"
Yup, Ching and his colon. Right up there on the mantle next to the girls' birthdays.
