Just football. And the only game worth mentioning was the evening game of
Atlanta vs. Washington which at least went to overtime - Washington’s win
helps Tampa get into the playoffs.
 
 
 
 
 

 
I watched:
 
 

 

 
Conan the Destroyer (4K disc) 1984 sword and sorcery sequel which finds

 
snipped
 

But what of naked nudity?

 
From what I can tell, none. All that was cut was bits of violence.
 

 
People are guessing anywhere from a hernia to a muscle pull from
yesterday‘s physical therapy to an intestinal blockage to the world’s worst
gas attack. I am hoping for the latter.

 
 

 

That sounds like when I had my kidney stone but more painful. I could
only lay on one side and not for long. Can't believe I stuck with it
almost an entire week thinking that what ever it was it would go away.
Only ended up going into the hospital on Thanksgiving Day

 
UGH. That’s the day I found out the hard way I had diverticulitis.
 
 
because I

tried to drive down to my family get together but could not make it
out of town. So I went to the hospital where they gave me some
intravenous fluids and something to help move the stone which got rid
of the pain, but not the stone.

 
This is acting more and more like gas all the time.
 
You know maybe 30 years ago I was diagnosed as having kidney stones (I
think blood in the urine or something) and then nobody has said anything
since.  Maybe I just passed them without noticing.

 
 
It happens if they are small enough. Mine wasn't small enough so they
had to use ultrasound (lythotrypsy (sp?)) to

What they wanted to do to me was new and there was only one place that did
it and it was a truck that went around to different hospital parking lots
and you got in a bathtub and gave them $10,000 and they took a shot at
breaking it up with no guarantee it would work. I passed. Apparently so did
everything else.

In my case I went to the hospital and they had me lay down on a table.
Then they put the machine next to me. It had a leather covered piece
with what looked like marbles behind the leather. They ran it a few
minutes to create the ultrasound waves that broke up the stone. All
for the low low fee of about $5000 in the mid 90s.

break it up. Since that

time I've passed other stones. Probably because I make sure to drink
plenty of water since then. I know when I'm passing a stone now
because it's small and sharp so I can feel it making it's way out when
I pee. Not pleasant but nothing like the pain of a kidney stone
blocking the kidneys from proper function.
 

 
Hope it turns out to be nothing or at least something that is easily
treated so you can be home for the New Year.
 

I was so close…

 
Missed it by that much.
 

 
Still waiting for the results on the x-rays as well as the actual
ultrasound tests. But no one has told admission anything so there’s still
planning on me leaving between 12 noon and 1 PM tomorrow.

 
I'm surprised they are taking so long. Unless they have to call
someone in to look at the scans. I can imagine many doctors don't want
to show up on New Years Eve.

Well, it’s three in the morning and they never did do the ultrasound and
whatever the pain was seems to be gone.

Sorry that they didn't do the follow up but hurray for the pain going
away. Hopefully that means you are better and will go home today.
What a great way to start the New Year.
