Well, Saturday morning started out fine, then turned on me.

Asked Mrs AZhokie to take me to the hospital emergency. Checked in at 9:15am. CTscan showed a 6mm kidney stone which stopped up the works and started a lot of pain. Much too large to pass. This hospital didn't have a urologist, so called an associate hospital to transfer me there. Weekend screw up, got me there at 5pm. Too late for anything, so shots of Fentanyl and Morphine helped. Was supposed to have surgery the next day. Easter, so good luck with that. Plan was for Monday @ 10am. Then@ 4::30pm, then @ 6:00pm. You guessed it, rescheduled for 10 the next morning, then again at 4 and finally happened at 6pm. All this time I hadn't eaten and couldn't eat or drink due to upcoming surgery. Ha
Just had my first breakfast since last Friday. Doc says he will remove the catheter and I can go home. This will probably happen at 10 or 4 or 6👎 sarcasm. Maybe. Back in a couple of weeks to do it again to blast the stone .

It was in Alaska, so maybe they just think and act a bit different up there -- Tafkam Hokie 04/19/2022 1:05PM

Of all days...you would think they could roll away the stone on Easter :>) ** -- Tuckahokie 04/19/2022 12:25PM
