SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY

ENTRY TWELVE
JOHN, 2 NURSES IN THE ER & KIM
August 8, 2010
After horrible complications from kidney surgery the week prior, we found ourselves in the ER. I sat at John's side while he lay sedated. Thank you pain killers. Throughout the day/night, Nurses kept coming in to check on him and ask about his pain level. The typical response he usually gave when asked was a 1-10 ranking on the pain scale. This time John got a little more creative. Disclaimer - he was quite gassy from the combination of pain meds they kept pumping through his IV. Oh, and did I mention that the two nurses in this conversation were young and quite cute? That just adds to the hilarity.

Cute Nurses: "Mr. Sigety - what's your pain level at? Can you wake up for a minute? What's your pain level at? How are you feeling?"
John trying to come out of morphene enduced sleep: "Mostly Farty!"
Kim: Laughs in sheer surprise.
Cute Nurses: Try not to laugh
John: Doesn't realize/remember what he's said to make his wife and two pretty nurses laugh, but can sense that something he's done is embarassing and thus smiles sheepishly and goes back to sleep.
Side Note: John had no recollection of this when I asked him about it later.

  1. I laughed out loud again when I read this even though I've heard this story multiple times! Maybe "mostly farty" is like an eleven on the pain scale.
