I'm passing blood, feverish, BP is 234 over 130something. They are discussing an ambulance to the big hospital.
If no updates follow, thanks for years of readership.
2 x 5mm kidney stones and a probable kidney infection. One of the stones hasn't moved much since it made it's presence known during my bout of flu. I'm wiped. It's hard to make it up the stairs.
I need to make an appointment with a urologist to see if these two stones can be reasonably expected to get passed, but I wasted the day getting the first sleep of more than a few minutes I've gotten in 3 days or so.
Posting will resume shortly.

Prayers and best wishes.

None of those things are good, so you need to stop doing them. Praying. And looking forward to the update on your condition from the hospital bed.

Glad you're OK. Also glad the Torodol helped. My wife turned out to be allergic to that--it made her itch like she was on fire, so badly that she scratched herself raw in a bunch of places.

Yipes! Good thoughts for passing the stone. (Maybe they can hit it with some sound waves to make it smaller and easier to get rid of?)

Those words gave me the chills when I first read them--they still do, even now when I know you're still with us. I (for one) will be hoping and praying for you to get well again soon, and to stay in the Land of the Living for a good long time to come.

I'm glad you're still with us, so I can point out that exactly one week ago you announced both your graduation and your retirement. Given
The Luck Of The Brickmuppet, what were you thinking? :-)

Gah! Don't DO that! I just finished reading about a friend spending 8 days in a Toronto Hospital. Frigging blood clots, mild valve problem making clots. I swear to hear how he told it he waited a day and a half, some of it in the hallway, with what could have been a stroke.
And he says Canadian Health care is better....
