Close to Home by John McPherson for August 16, 2019

At the hospital where I worked, there was actually a display of photographs on a wall titled “Gallstone Gallery.”

mine was in ’98.

That takes some gall to display that to everybody.

At least the date isn’t a week earlier. LOL

And the music playing in the office is Stone Free by Jimi.

I would have played anything by the Rolling Stones.

Well, my last three colonoscopy photos are on the Fridge.

I guess Dr’s and Nurses probably save souvenirs. I sort of expect things like first scalpel or best stethoscope.

Did she tie up that hospital gown all by herself like they usually expect you to do? If so, great job.

Okay, you know that little perv Bleeb is hiding under the table with a full moon shot.

Mine were bladder and kidney and they wouldn’t let me keep them. I wanted to make maracas.

Now, it would be considered ‘medical waste’ and tossed. I have mine. Looks like a nickel-size but oval stone picked up at the beach! They presented it to me in a little yellow plastic, snap case! (I labeled it so my kids would know what it is before they gross out and toss it! )

The most painful ordeal I’ve ever been through.
