Groundhog Day

February 8, 2010 in Marriage by Sara | 3 comments

On Friday JD had to have a very minor procedure done. (He’s fine.)  The doctors were nice enough to give him some conscious sedation and let me just tell you that seeing my husband completely stoned was one of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

While there were several recurring themes in his ramblings, this was the one that tickled me the most.

“Hey honey, how are you”

(through half closed eyes) “I’m good.  Hey, did you know that my doctor used to live in Old Town Alexandria?  But he and his wife didn’t like the fact that drunk people kept puking on their doorstep so they moved.”

” Yeah, well I can see why.”

At this point his eyes rolled back into his head and he started snoring.

15 minutes later he opens his eyes and says,

“Hey, did you know that my doctor used to live in Old Town Alexandria?  But he and his wife didn’t like the fact that drunk people kept puking on their doorstep so they moved.”

“Oh, yeah, I can see why they would want to move.”

Head back, eyes closed.

15 minutes later:

“Hey, did you know that my doctor used to live in Old Town Alexandria?’

“Oh, really?  Did they have people puking on their doorstep?”

Eyes widen:  “Yeah, they did!”

Pause.

“Did I tell you that already?”

“Yep”

“Oh.”

This went on and on for the next 4 hours.  It was hilarious.

It was our own little version of the movie “Groundhog Day”.

It was almost as funny as this.

Wish I’d had my video camera.

    Again, another timely post!! What you described with JD reminds me of when George had his wisdom teeth out…very amusing! If you can believe it, I still have my wisdom teeth and I am calling today to schedule to take them out. I watched the video of the little boy, if someone tapes me, I would not be too happy!! Hope JD is feeling well!

    Reminds me of Riley and his wisdom teeth…..he wanted an IV to take home…said that was good stuff. Hope all is well.

    I love versed. If you have to have a procedure, when you get to the first receptionists window, ask this non-medical person, will you send the doctor or nurse out right now and give me some versed. When I had to swallow a camera for my interesting heart photo shoot, afterwords I said to Kathy, that wasn’t bad, I was only in there about 10 minutes. Kathy said, guess again, it was about 1.5 hours.
