Rick and Julie arrived. They are staying at another wonderful up-scale hotel. Rick uses Price line and gets great deals.
I did finally go to the e.r. The pain was unrelenting. Could not find a comfortable position, kept moving , could not sit still or lie down. The c.t. scan shows a large stone in the left kidney uritier. From the size and location, it is very highly likely to pass with out any intervention, surgery or Lithotripsy. The shot they gave me was wonderful. No pain for 6 hours. The pills they gave me are twice the power of the pills I get for my back. I went one period of time, 16 hours during the day, with no pain. We all thought I had passed the stone. Then I took 6pills in 12 hours. I am going to have to make an appointment with a Kaiser M.D to get another prescription of pain pills. I have used Claudia's after I ran out of mine. Only 20 pills, no refills. My tooth remains broken, but has not pain. I have an appointment on Tuesday, here in the desert, with a dentist to discuss treatment options. The tooth was sooo important when it happened, and is so unimportant with every thing else going on. I did consider going home with Rick and Julie today, but then I would have to drive my self to any medical appointments, and would have to fly back down. I decided to just stay here where Claudia can pamper me.
R and J and H and V and C did a great hike up and down ladders and in slot canyons, while I baby sat the 2 dogs.
Marc and Jane came to visit today. We went to an out door restaurant to that Wolfie could sit with us. We all had bagel and lox, follow up later with banana splints. Wonder visit. S and L joined us for the ice cream.
Me in the new chair.
