It's a Family Affair
There really is a pun in there.
. . .that song was recorded by Sly and the Family "Stone" right?
. . .and a couple weeks ago, my dad had a kidney "stone" right?
. . .and I went to the ER last night in excruciating pain, right?
I have a kidney stone. It's a family affair.
My mom and dad took me to the ER while Mark stayed at home with the kids. Good plan. . . trust me. Mark's not a huge fan of all things medical. It's cool.
I feel some better. Have to wait for it to pass. sigh.
Here are a few of my observations:
1) At no point, during our 5-hour stint in the ER did a bus crash occur.
2) All of the doctors had both limbs - none lost appendages in a freak helicopter incident.
3) George Clooney was nowhere in the vicinity (much personal sadness)
4) CT machines have a dual function: scan your CT and destroy your body image.
5) CT machines are probably more fun to go through once - not six times. (It wasn't working properly the first 5 times!)
6) Barium tastes like watered down Elmer's school glue with berry flavoring
7) Pain-killing medicines are quite yummy at 4 a.m., when you feel like Joel Gray is tap dancing on your abdomen.
Family is good. Life is good. Relief is good.
. . .when the relief part gets here, you'll be some of the first to know. Until then.........

Oh Angie....you poor thing:( I hope things improve for you real soon. All that you have been through and you are still up to a blog!! What a trooper!! Your Mark sounds like my Den...stays fifty feet clear of all things sick! Said right from the beginning he was a "no poo, no spu man"!! My thoughts and well wishes are with you ~ Helen
Ouch! Painful. I have to say you have a way to lighten up such things though. You got a few chuckles out of me.
Competitive family...but looks like your Dad has you beat.
Plenty o' puns in there...love it.
Hope it passes quickly and painlessly! Prayers flying your way!
Melly :)
