I felt worse for my friend, who left in the middle of dinner to come take me, and then waited with me for almost three hours! But she distracted me from the pain by chatting and then when the pain receded we just had fun talking and hanging and noticing things like that an IV drip actually drips and there was a cabinet in my room labeled OLD RESTRAINTS.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Congratulations on the baby kidney stone! I am glad it is not a more dire diagnosis, though painful.
I am currently pouring vinegar in my ears, try to stave off a swimmer's ear type infection that I get at least once a year. I was what my doctor prescribed last time, and I am so sick of going to the doctor for this, as it happens often enough (like a UTI) that I just know what it is. Also, my new insurance is deductible based, so I have to pay $90

Oh, and no pain at all today! I just have to call and talk to my PCP (or Nurse Practioner) to confirm whether they think I should have a followup, which they can probably tell from the CT scan.
Thank goodness for mandated medical insurance, btw, even if it costs me a pretty penny....

I hope you are feeling better Theodosia.
I feel guilty. I just had a Butterfinger at 9:15 in the morning. I have a thing for Butterfinger bars and it was just sitting there. At least it was only fun sized. Personally I think it is kind of depressing that fun means small. I think it is actually a good size for a candy bar, but in general I think I would want fun to be big.

Now that I think about it, making "Fun" mean small could be useful for political spin. Your dreams of retirement haven't been crushed under the weight of a tailspinning economy, your retirement account has been fun sized.

Apparently I have fun sized the Natter posting rate.

Do I go out for a mediocre lunch where I know I'll end up smelling like burgers and onions and I really have a lot to do and I have a meeting right after, BUT it'd be really really good for me to go for work reasons and make-my-life-easier reasons and yeah, shit, burger and onion stink here I come.
