i, uh, don't know the people having this conversation. really.

"if i have to get surgery, i can't move for, like, a whole week while my bones set."

"what about getting up to go to the bathroom?"

"oh. um."

"you can use a bedpan!"

"i am so not using a bedpan"

"no, you'll totally have to use a bedpan. what else are you going to do, cut a whole in the middle of your bed and crap on the floor?"

"I AM NOT USING A BEDPAN."

"i'd even change your bedpan for you."

"I AM NOT USING A BEDPAN!!"

"why not?"

"because... because no. just no. i'll... i dunno. use depends."

"i am NOT changing your diaper."

"well I'M not taking a crap while you hold a pan under my ass."

"maybe you should just have a liquid diet that week so you don't have to crap in the bedpan."

"I AM NOT USING A BEDPAN!"

"no, seriously, i mean, if you can't walk, what other option do you have? you're just going to have to watch what you eat that week so i don't mind changing the pan."

"STOP TALKING ABOUT BEDPANS. SERIOUSLY. I WILL NOT USE A BEDPAN. EVER. AUGH. I WILL WALK TO THE FUCKING BATHROOM."

"but then that will probably ruin the surgery. looks like a bedpan it is."

"I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT BEDPANS ANY MORE."


we're so romantic.

  1. Ok, Alice... um, I know this whole bedpan thing has one of you freaked out - but may I ask who is having surgery? Are you ok? (Although the fact that you blog so frickin HILARIOUSLY about the bedpan indicates you probably are...) ;)

  10. Pedpans have to be one of the weirdest things to have to use ever. I had appendicitis...no fun I tell you.

    But if someone is willing to hold your bedpan for you...that's lurv!

  12. for the people worrying about peeing, they have catheters for that, I seen 'em (which would be pretty cool Alice. You should be down with that part, anyway. It's like a reverse IV!) As for the pooping... bedpans ARE disgusting. And there's no way I'd change yours. No way. That's what nurses are paid for. In grade 8 though, my friend broke his leg and had to pee in a jar and I dumped it in the toilet for him. That's what friends are for, but when it comes to poo, all bets are off.

    poooooooop
