When I had my knee replaced, I had difficulty urinating after I got out of recovery. They tired to catheterize me with no success and were about to send me back to the OR. Then the old nurse, sitting in the back of the room (my wife) said, “Stand him up.”
The rest of the staff looked at her. She said, “He’s an old man. The plumbing has probably collapsed.”
They asked me if I thought I could stand. If the question was “Can you stand on your head,” I would have still answered in the affirmative. I did and we shuttled off to the bathroom, IV pole and all. There were so many people crammed around me, that if I fell, I could not hit the floor.
The next day, the physical therapist came by and said, “I’m supposed to get out out of bed and …” as she read my chart. Then she said, “Never mind … Page 2.”
