The toilet caper

After I was told I had Lymphoma it was decided that I needed a lower GI to check things out. So my father, brother and I drove 180 miles in the early morning to the hospital where this would take place. The first thing that scared me was this tube attached to a two gallon bag. The second thing is when they tell you its going in your butt and you have to hold all this fluid in while they do a scan that felt like it took hours.. I managed to keep things in during the test and the rush to the rest room. It was decided that we should have lunch at a steak house so off we went. I needed to use the restroom again to get rid of another gallon of fluid. This was not a problem. I had just bought my first pair of $240.00 glasses that we could barely afford as my cancer costs were running up. My wife told me I would face death if I lost them. I had them in my shirt pocket when I leaned over to flush the toilet. The glasses went into the toilet before I could flush it. So there were my new glasses in the bottom of the toilet in a mess that I can't even describe. The thought of divorce crossed my mind and I wondered what would be more costly. But I bit the bullet and reached in for my glasses. Then I quickly hit the sink for decontamination. Its quite amazing the amount of crap a guy will go through for his wife. Six years later I still use the same frames as I have been through so much with them lol. Slickwilly
