I'm at urgent care with my spouse of nearly 30 years. He's been very sick for the last few days and has an extremely hard time standing up (combo of weakness and dizziness.) He's got a 101 fever, and his BP is 89/58 (that was the second read, the first was even lower) Anyway, they need a urine sample and the nurse says she's going to bring him a urinal because they don't want him to risk standing up. She laughed VERY hard when I said, "Awesome! I've never seen his penis before!

@kims@mas.to While this isn't a fun situation, humour helps things along beautifully. And this was - beautiful. Only improvement would be: "And neither has he!" 😂 Hope he improves 👍

@kims@mas.to I'm so sorry hope he's feeling better soon. When mine gets like that he's usually dehydrated with a diverticulitis attack. We've had a couple of emergency visits for it.
