I've been gone a few days, and a few emails piled up in my in-box as they usually do if I am gone without explanation for a few days... of people's concern, which I very much appreciate.
I thought I'd just send a general all clear out via a diary form, and thank everyone for their well wishes and to send a form of voodoo against the evil kidney stone monster again.
Oddly enough it started the same day I met with the attorney for disability, I met with him at 9 AM the same time I started to feel back pain associated with kidney stone. The pain kept getting worse as the meeting went on but I grinned and beared it, finished the meeting, and my caregiver drove me home. I tried everything I could think of to manage the pain, and nothing.....
Usually when I get stones, I get so many, I just grin and bear them at home. I know the drill enough that there is no need to go to the hospital except for the stronger drugs which I can usually suffer without, for the time, and cost.
But this stone was unlike any of the others and long story short...I was not only at the ER I was admitted for two days.
After a series of tests and procedures I was sent home yesterday and told to rest and to do the usualy post-surgery/stone stuff, which is what I've been doing.
My sister, my pooties and my caregiver all have stopped by to make sure I am doing OK which I have been apart from being very sore.
Anyways, I am back, a few stones lighter, and ready to party. :)
