Urine the Clinic Now

Another day at the hospital and here we sit waiting for Tucker to pee. Each time the nurse questions "Do you have to go yet?" is met by a shake of the head. Tucker is playing video games and apparently this acts as some kind of urinary inhibitor.

"We can't start your chemo till we get a urine sample from you. Do you have to go yet?" another shake of the head.

Why is it that kids have to pee 5 minutes after you get in the car to go on a trip or any time the nearest bathroom is 100 miles away? Is there a direct correlation between video games and an increased bladder capacity? Someone should do a study, not me though, I'm just trying to insinuate images of running water, waterfalls, etc. into Tuckers subconscious. It's not working. I'm pretty sure there is a direct correlation between PlayStation and higher brain function cessation. 

Maybe if I tickle him? Can they extract the sample from his pants should he pee them? Never mind, he's got to ride home with me.

Oh wait, what is this? The nurse is now forcing him to try. This might work.

5 minutes later:

After much effort and a virtual eternity away from his game we now have a viable sample. Let the chemo begin!

Too much talking about pee, now I have to go. TMI, I realize.

We hope you have as much fun reading this as we did experiencing it.

Until next time.

Justin and Tucker
