I had a few
bad days a week ago. I woke up at 4 AM with extreme abdominal pain. By 5 AM I
woke Clyda up and asked her to take me to the ER. I was quickly diagnosed with
a kidney stone. A shot of pain killer really helped and a quick CT scan showed
only one stone and it was near my bladder so it should move out shortly.
Well, no
such luck. I made another quick trip to the ER for pain meds last Saturday and
have had no pain since. My doctor thinks I have passed the stone. I have been
drinking lots of fluids and adding a squeezed lemon wedge to the water.
Hopefully that will dissolve any future stones.
Gate guard
duty is coming up next week so I have been getting things ready to go. I will
go mow the grass on Monday and take the RV up Tuesday afternoon. As usual,
trying to anticipate what groceries they will give me and what I need to take
from here occupies much of my time.
We have had
so little rain this year that I am afraid we may not be able to have a night
fire. Without a fire the night shift is really long and cold.
