i survived

Saturday evening I watched the boys while H went out to see a movie with my sister-in-law after a very successfull garage sale. The boys were in bed and I was watching a little tv when out of nowhere I got this horrible pain in my side. It got to be so bad that I had to call 911. The paramedics came and determined that I probably had kidney stones. Fortunately, my brother was able to get ahold of his wife and Heather, and they made it back in record time. After everyone made it to the house the pain receeded a bunch.

Heather took me to the ER, where they were woefully slow in treating me. The pain came back even worse, and I'm sure they could hear me moaning two zip codes away. Finally they drugged me up and I was happy again. The drugs made me groggy, but the stone passed without incident Monday morning. Now I just feel like somebody punched me a bunch of times in my lower back; otherwise, as good as new.
