Once in the E.R. the two doctors wheeled Sophia into a room to examine her.
Dorothy walked over to the nurse's desk and stared dumbly at the nurse.
"Name of patient?" the nurse said in a monotone.
F-A-R-R-R-R-R-R-T
The nurse almost busts out laughing. But she knew her job.
Blance stepped next to Dorothy. "Sophia Pettibonllo."
"Age?" The nurse said.
"82" Blance said.
"Height?" nurse said.
"5'4 1/2" Blance replied.
"Weight?" Nurse asked.
"115" Dorothy said.
"Insurance card?" Nurse asked.
Dorothy got out Sophia's insurance card and handed the nurse the card.
The nurse wrote down the information and handed the card back.
"Illminent?" Nursed asked.
"Unstoppable farting; pain." Dorothy said worriedly as she stared off into space.
F-A-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-T
"If you three will take a seat over there the doctor will be with you soon." the nurse said as she pointed to chair's ahead of her.
The three women slowly walked over and sat down.
Dorothy stared off into space as she worried about her mother. Ma oh Ma. What's happing? This has never happened before.
F-A-R-R-R-R-T
"What stinks in here nana?" a boy of six asked his grandmother as he plugged his nose from the smell of Sophia's fart.
"Just a fart sweetly. Please don't speak so loudly, especially on such a delicate matter. If you have any questions that you know that are going to be embarrassing just whisper in my ear ok." The grandmother said softly looking down at her grandson.
"Ok nana. I didn't mean to be rude." the boy said in a soft voice but Dorothy still heard him.
"That's all right young man. You are only six after all. What is you name?" Dorothy asked looking kindly at the boy and his grandmother.
F-A-R-R-R-T
"Collins Peter Worthington. And this is my Nana." Collins said with a smile at Dorothy, Blance and Rose.
F-A-R-R-R-T
Dr. Noah and Dr. Peterson looked briefly at each other over Sophia's head. They looked instatianly back down at Sophia.
"Mrs. Pettibonea we will have to operate. We have to get inside you urine and see why you are ..." Dr. Peterson began.
F-A-R-R-R-R-T
"... Farting and bleeding. We must begin right away. Dr. Noah please tells the family." Dr. Peterson looked at the nurse and the nurse went to the phone on the wall.
"Yes we will need an gurney and some orderlies." the nurse said before hanging up the phone.
F-A-R-R-R-R-T
Dr. Noah left the room to tell Dorothy, Blance and Rose.
"Mrs. Pertillo must undergo surgery." Dr. Noah said gravelly to the three anxious women in the waiting room.
"Oh my God will my mother be all right?" Dorothy asked breathlessly cluncing her heart.
Rose put her hand to her mouth shocked and Blance closed her eyes in prayer.
"I must be honest this is the first time that we have had someone come in with this problem..." Dr. Noah said.
F-A-R-R-R-R-R-T
"But we know that the only way that we can locate the problem we must operate on Mrs. Pertillo." Dr. Noah turned his head toward the room just as Sophia let out another fart.
F-A-R-R-T
"I must get back in there and help Dr. Peterson." Dr. Noah said as he turned and walked quickly back to the room leaving the three women very shocked and scared.
