Where can I get that surgery? That might make my life a bit easier...

[Odyssey]

I am speechless. All I can do is forward that story on.

[ne1410s]

Yeah, I read about this. The surgeon is now a substitute PE teacher somewhere in California...

My m-i-l goes in for surgery on the 11th to remove her whatever-it-is that's on your intestines that gets inflamed and I can't remember the name for the life of me. ANYway, the doctor said take it out under controlled conditions rather than emergency surgery to lessen the likelihood of perforation and colostomy and whatnot.

I will keep her away from this story at all costs. It is bad enough that I have to break it to her than her son will be out of the country on that date, and he scheduled the trip knowing she was going in for surgery....

Think of all of the time he will save pooping while standing up.

You are a gem of a wife. No way I would tell my m-i-l that. Her son would have to do that.

Ouch! Diverticuli, perhaps? And why do you have to break the news and not her son, hmmm?

Ya know, this post is quite appropriate in this thread, given the title.

Sounds like something I would say.

Almost.

Truth is, though, since you pee more than you poop, it would end up costing you more time than you'd save, in the end.

Plus, even if it would save you some time, it wouldn't be worth it to me to get this procedure done. Maybe it's just me, but I'd just as soon not have poop inside my wookus.

Yeah, you've got enough on the outside.

I can sorta understand the mistake of reattaching the proximal portion of the colon to the bladder. The anatomy isn't labeled in there. Although leaving it attached seems hard to believe as I would think they would test the new anastomosis by flushing fluid through the rectum. If it didn't come out where it was supposed to then it would be pretty clear it wasn't hooked up right!

That is the part I don't get. Unless they mean that urine from the bladder is going up into the colon. Because it is not like he is urinating from the rectum, that part ain't hooked up! And it you hook up the colon to the bladder then of course you can get urine in the colon. But it will still be eliminated through the urethra along with the fecal matter.

Would be hard to defend the surgeon in that case. That is one were you start working on the settlement from the get go. But the claim of disfigurement and disability seems a bit much. Certainly the inconvenience, requirement for and risk associated with a second procedure should be compensated. But he will likely ask for, and no doubt receive, much more than a reasonable settlement given the lurid sounding nature of the details.

Maybe. But camping without a portapotty would be soo much easier.

Well, there was that one time when my wife said that she wanted an annulment.

I never said I coul hear real good, you know.
