Drugged up Daddy!

My dad had the lovely opportunity to have a colonoscopy the other day! After being starved and completely flushing out his system he was given an IV (the worst part of it for him), knocked out, and had a mile long tube shoved up his rear end! I was able to go be with him while he was in recovery and wow... He gave me and my mom quite the laugh, as well as the entire hospital staff! The best part is he does not remember a thing he said. He told us the same stories about 4 times and gave us every single detail about everything, describing the thick black tubing they put up his bum bum several times. 'You see the tube has little white markings on it every so often so they know how far they have shoved it inside of you!' They also took several pictures... who can say they have seen inside their daddy's colon! What an honor!

They pumped him up with air and gave him a free card to pass it back out all day long (farting). His first long flatulence was released right as the nurse walked in his room, then continued throughout the day. He flirted with the nurse while his wife was in the room and couldn't figure out if he had already had the procedure or was just going in. The best part was him discussing his bowel movements and wiping techniques with the doctor and then continually asking us when the Dr was going to come in and see him.

The good news is he was clean as a whistle with nothing goin on in there that shouldn't be. I'm so thankful he is healthy and all is well. I don't know what I would do without my dad. He does so much for us and I love him so much. I am after all his little girl and will always be his pumpkin lady.

Love you dad!!!!! Thanks for the good laugh!!
