Ooooooohhh! I have(had) diverticulitis also, about 20 years ago. I was 30 years old and the doctors told me at that age I shouldn't have it! But by gum, they can't discriminate against me becaus eof age, if I want it,I can have it! Not a pleasant thing to have. I can sympathize with the 'Spaw on this one based on personal experience!
I think what really occured is that he got so used to being waited on, hand and foot, that he just contrived an excuse to go back there. C'mon 'Spaw, fess up...
What we need to do is contact Paw 'n Cletus and the boys, (and folks, ya gotta visualize this with me), dress them up as nurses and they'll have him ready to go home in no time! When Paw goes into the room with that syringe with the foot long, quarter inch thick needle and proceeds to show 'Spaw what all he learned about proctology, he'll be ready to git his duds and skeeddadlle right on outta there, I betcha.....Hell, he'll be ready to skeeddadle, without his duds, that hospital just flapping in the breeze....'scuze me, I gotta take me a giggle break....
