*whistles in the dark*

One of the perks of being married that no one ever tells you about is that you can say to another person--someone with no medical expertise at all--"I need you to look at my anus", and they will. (Without going into detail, I now have more sympathy for ladytroubles that before.)

The day didn't improve much from that point. Which is all the more reason why I need to recall what a great day yesterday was. Seems odd to be saying that when we spent the afternoon at the hospital, but that's the best mood I've seen [livejournal.com profile] monshu in in weeks. I'm sure the anaesthesia played a role. I'm worried the lack of food did, too. (Now that he's no longer fasting, it's back to the same level of discomfort as before.)

Everyone we had to deal with--from the receptionist to the cabbie to the pharmacists--was cordial if not outright friendly and never less than competent. I got the meds, did a little shopping, and picked up Thai for dinner and still made it home before 6 p.m., which left me time enough to watch a film and read more than half of a new novel. (The Old Man bested me on that, staying up until 4 a.m. to finish devouring his.)

He's back next week for a CT scan. I'm trying not to fret about what they might find. But whatever it is, yesterday was a great day.
