Go Balls Deep!

So, we're waiting in the urologists' office. John's pretty ready to get the whole thing over with... or bail out, whichever. A woman was waiting with her baby, a month or so younger than Jackson and a 3 year old daughter. She eludes to the fact that her husband is getting a vasectomy as we speak.

John's appointment was for 1:40. Just after 2, the woman's husband comes out to the waiting room. She's asking him how he is and it's all very strange. He's acting kinda angry and not-quite-right. After a bit of drama, he announces he's going to the bathroom and walks out into the hallway. His wife follows quickly behind him. A few moments later, she returns to the desk. "He's laying on the floor in the hallway. He says he feels really light-headed. Is that normal?" The nurse says that he got up too quickly and he was supposed to lay down for a little bit, but he insisted on getting up. The wife insists, "can someone come out and see if he's okay?"

So, the nurse and the office administrator go out into the hallway with the wife. As soon as they leave the waiting room, I begin laughing out loud. I'm sorry, but it was like a scene from a movie. That never happens in real life. A few moments pass. I continue giggling to myself. John begins gnawing on his fingers. The nurse and office girl return, mumbling to themselves about the previous patient. John jokingly asks, "I'm not having what he's having, am I?" The nurse stops walking, turns around and pointedly replies, "Vasectomy?" John says, "yeah..." She looks at him and says, "yep!" and walks back into the office.

Needless to say, I thought that was pretty funny. No. I thought it was REALLY funny and I don't know how to express in words how great it was to see John nervous for the first time in a long time!
