I wanted to relate one more story: My H was concerned, when I first told him about the colonoscopy, that my hospital gown might come undone and the doctors and/or nurses might "see" me. Firstly, I wondered why this didn't bother him when I had the laparascopy done. I mean, a male nurse actually shaved me on the top o' the bits, which is something he is not enthusiastic in doing for me, so how much more exposed could I get?
Secondly, I had to remind him that the procedure itself is pretty humiliating..what do I really care if my gown accidentally falls open? Can it GET any worse than the procedure itself?! I think not.
I thought this was uncharacteristic of my H--he is prudish, to be sure, but he does not seem to notice or care about other people noticing me. There have been a few times when he makes remarks and they always take me off guard. Most of the time he seems quite oblivious to me. Once, we were in a restaurant and a man came up to him and said, Your wife is so beautiful, I just had to tell you that. This not only did not faze him (the guy was in his 70's I should add), he suddenly became "tuned in" to this guy and irritated by him..by the way he was talking to the waitress, the way he was eating his food, everything. The fact that the guy just ogled his own wife was not even on his radar. I find this strange! Though I am not as in tune with visual things as men are, I still would sit up and take notice if another woman came up to me in a restaurant and made a comment about him.
Anyway, how did I get off on that tangent? Oh yeah, the gown.
Anyway, I'll be glad when it's all over and they get to the bottom of things. That was for you, GGB, and too bad Hairy won't play with us.
