Daddy-O Gets Checked!

"Pre" ( In all fairness he was very willing to have his picture taken!)

He will love that I am posting this!  Today I took my dad to get "Checked" because he is turning the big 5-0 this year!  Yay, go dad for being pro-active about your health!  (Note**Everyone 50 or older should have regular colonoscopies! Go here for another affirmation!)  Dad faired very well! He was very lucid afterwards and was up walking around and came home with me within an hour after his procedure and we even hit up Jimmy John's for lunch! 

"Post" (I told him he would not be aware that I took this, and he wasn't!)

Kinda reminds me of when I took this handsome guy to get his when he was having some health trouble.  We had only been married a few months so it was kind of scary to see him all out of it!

Raymond was completely zonked, it took about 1.5 hours to get him concsious enough for us to load him into a wheelchair and load him into the car.  Something I kept secret from him for about a year is that he crashed in the car on our way from the hospital in Bountiful to Garland.  I had a couple stops to make so...I just cracked the windows and left him in the car while I went shopping!  Mean huh!

While Raymond was a bit loopy he kept asking to see the Dr.  I told him the Dr had been in and gave Ray the pictures/report that he had gone over with us (Raymond actually talked to the Dr himself, just doesn't remember!).  Every few minutes he would get upset that the Dr was taking so long to come talk to us, I just kept showing him the report!  The nurse told me to talk to him in attempts to wake him up and one of my favorite conversations I had with him was...Me: Honey, whats your favorite color?  Ray: I don't know, what is it? Me: You tell me. Ray: You know it better than me. Me: Okay, usually you like blue.  Ray: Yeah, thats a good one.  Do I get a blue sucker now? Me: I don't have a sucker, sorry.  Ray: Damn, I really want a blue sucker. Haha! It was kinda fun talking with him!

Gosh I love this man.  Even when he is all doped up and clueless.  Dad thanks for letting me chill with you, you are not nearly the light weight Raymond is :)
