In my family bowels had never been referred to as such so I had no idea what she meant and replied No, I'd had my tonsils out. Then she laughed and asked if I'd poohed yet today. <br />I hope the smaller portion begins eating a bit soon.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-70151388864917797952012-06-26T16:53:37.835+10:002012-06-26T16:53:37.835+10:00It is good that you are back on line, and that SP ...It is good that you are back on line, and that SP is progressing, albeit at a snail's pace.Men can be very aggravating and irrational!

Several of my married friends have mentioned through the years about what bad patients men are. That always seemed to me to be--possibly--an exaggeration as I never like to think of the group instead of the individual. But perhaps I've been wrong! Maybe men really are just bad patients!
