Although it’s been an exciting day, I’m still here. I had a real bout with constipation and it was no fun.
First we tried various oral remedies and they proved inadequate to the problem. Then we tried a suppository and that didn’t help. Finally two nurses donned the rubber gloves and started spelunking for gold while I bellowed with pain. Bless their hearts they did for me what I could NOT do for someone else.
The seemed to take it in stride. I heard comment like, “Wow! Did you see that one? I think it could replace Grand Cooley Dam.” Then I heard, “Ha! Here’s one that could staunch the flow of the Mississippi River.” OK, so they didn’t exactly make those comments, it makes for light comedy about something we’d rather not talk about.
Then they finished by giving me an enema and I’m still dealing with the aftereffects of that. At least now I can say that I’m not full of it.
I got an email from the building manager at my office. Danny is not allowed any more. They are afraid if someone is injured, they may be legally responsible.
I’m a little sadder, but I understand.
UPDATE: The Nurses said I should stay away from BRAT foods as they tend to constipate you. That would be bananas, rice, apples and tea.

I am glad that you understand. That is the part of my job I could do without...especially when I consider you my friends. Thank you.
We are all looking forward to your return!! It's just not the same around here without your strange sense of humor.
