Dear Doctor.....

After I recently went through some medical testing and stuff, the doctor gave me a picture of my stomach and colon, and while I was touched, I wasn't really sure what I should do with it.

Should I put it in my wallet and break it out and show people? "Oh, what beautiful children you have! Want to see a picture of my colon?????"

I don't think my colon is as cute as my doctor obviously thinks it is. I mean, he must think it's cute, why else would he have given me a picture of it? I'm looking at my stomach and colon and trying to decide if they take after my mother's side or my father's side........whom do they resemble more?

I have never been really into a lot of those "keepsake" items. Yes, I do have some of my children's baby teeth but my hubby said "We gotta keep that!" after they fell out. I'm really not sure about the charm of keeping old teeth that even the former occupants are no longer using, however my hubby is sentimental that way.

I still don't know what to do with that picture. It's not exactly something that you want to frame and put up on the wall. However, I would almost love doing that just to hear the comments I would get. Maybe I could make an adorable little name plaque for it and put it underneath.

Wouldn't it be funny to go visit someone and get to see a whole new side (or inside) of them????? I think I am going to send my doctor a thank you letter.

Dear Doctor,

Thank you for this lovely picture of my insides. Now I suddenly feel so much closer to them than I did before. I have named the puppy.....or the colon. Suddenly, they seem so much more real to me, now that I have a "face" to go with the name.

I am thinking of using it as the picture for next year's Christmas cards and you will be one of the first to be blessed with one. Please send me your home address as soon as possible.

I am also thinking of using it as my profile picture on facebook. Please let me know if you want to be my facebook friend so you can see it. Please don't tell my stomach that I will using my colon's picture as my profile, because I don't want my stomach to get jealous.

If I ever get my appendix out, I can only assume that I will leave the hospital with a lovely parting gift. Your generosity knows no bounds.

I am sure, in the years to come, that my colon and I will form a lasting friendship. Thank you for sending me the picture. I will cherish it forever.

Your friend,

  2. Since your hubby is so sentimental that way, give it to him for his wallet. How proud he would be to show you off.

    Funny post! :o)

  3. Okay, that was hilarious! I have seen my heart probably more times than I should have, through xrays and sonograms. Never had a picture given to me of it, though, but my doc did bring me out to look at an xray so I could see all the repair work they did during surgery.

  10. Nan,

    Perhaps there is a post in the future for pictures of medical parts and a contest to see what they are. Hmmm at least there is something good you can use your picture for!

  11. Actually, I think you SHOULD frame it. Then, you could hang it on the bathroom wall...for inspiration. ;-)

  17. Ugh! Valiant has a picture of the tendon that attaches his big toe to his foot (somewhere on the top of the foot). It is so gross. He and the doctor, however, thought it was super cool!

  20. Oh Nan, you crack me up!!! Wonderful!!!

    Along with a couple of the other commenters, I too think you should frame the picture, and like 'Stephanie' suggested, give it to your sentimental husband, but I would suggest doing so practical joke style. Like hanging it in his office at the church and see how long before he notices it, or some such. And yes, attach a label panel on the bootm of it, such as: to my sentimental husband - whom I love with my whole being!

    I have been to peoples homes whom have a jar with their kidney stones in it, sitting out as conversational starters. Ewwh!
