Materia Medica

[arisbe]

Thanks to all for your thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

And to the divine poppy.

And a new pain med called something very much like taradiddle.

And two bags of saline drip.

Under the influence of which I made an off color remark. The color in question being a very dark red.

"Oh, they pricked your finger."
"At least they didn't finger my prick."

And Barsanuphius, a stuffed animal of indeterminate species which Srsti (yes the r is a vowel, deal with it) brought back to the emergency room from her late dinner break. I should have called him Peter for two reasons, but that would have been pompously Papistical.

The offending particle, when I pissed it out attempting to produce sufficient urine to insert a dipstick into, was insultingly small, at least compared to some of the things I have passed in the past, especially after the lithotripsy.

Home by midnight.

I am very glad to hear that you are well. Your remark while on medication is far more ?interesting? than the one I made under similar circumstances the first time I was taken to a hospital for stones. I remember asking, "would these be four needles in Rome?"

It has been about a year since I last had a kidney stone show up. My kidneys haven't even given me trouble in that time period. I hope you go at least as long - preferably, much longer - without any trouble.

well that is good news...
mentioned your experience to
Andrey and it seems he has twice
had problems resolved by medication.

uh if any of that there
taradiddle medication
is left over maybe you would share
a bit? it sounds like a delightfully
illicit substance.

Congratulations.

As my friend Karl put it: "After all that pain, what felt like the moon turned out to be just a little 'plink'"

I want some taradiddle, too, especially if it will make me loopy _and_ able to still amke witty remarks.

I'm glad to hear that you're recovering. :)

Taradiddle, eh? Glad you're home so fast!

[loresinger.livejournal.com]

Glad you made it. As a fellow kidney stone sufferer and lithotripsy patient I feel your pain. Enjoy your "taradiddle"!

:-)

oi - recover well. I do not look forward to my first.

I'm glad that worked out! You seem remarkably cheerful under the circumstances, which is impressive.

This is not the type of Livejournal entry I usually encounter. It's usually along the lines of "I have to study for my physics exam." Give them a few more years.

Wow, I am glad you are doing well now. :)
