In the waning days of Eileen’s illness, for which she was taking two prescription drugs, the following conversation ensued.
Eileen: Guess what!
Tim: What?
Eileen: I just shit out a pill.
Tim: Which one?
Eileen: I don’t know. They both look the same. But it was definitely one of them.
Tim: How is that possible? Was it a suppository? Did you stick it up your ass?
Eileen: No. I swallowed it. Apparently my body didn’t want it.
Tim: Didn’t want it? That pill was two dollars. You go up there and clean it off and take it again.
Eileen: (silent, laughing)
Tim: I’m serious.
Eileen: It was completely intact.
Tim: Did you shit logs?
Eileen: No.
Tim: You shit a pile?
Eileen: Yeah.
Tim: And it was on the top of the pile?
Eileen: Yeah, it was light brown.
Tim: (silence)
Eileen: It was lighter brown than the rest of the shit. But it was definitely a pill.
Tim: Oh my God. That’s some funny shit. We gotta blog this.
