Lose dirt, gravel road and my bikes aparently do not mix. I wiped out coming to a stop. My helmet and my gloves are the reason why I'm not bleeding from either one of those two places. The broken ankle would have happened regardless. Now I'm just waiting to be put back together.

Spent yesterday fixing little issues at a beautiful house that had an awful system installed many years ago. Whomever he had servicing just kept adding to the massacre.

After spending the entire day there, I got two calls from my fiancée while I was saying my goodbyes to the client. She left me a voice mail that essentially said "call me back I think I have to go to the hospital". I called her and she was in severe pain on her side.

Traffic around here is horrendous and it takes over an hour to go 10 miles so I told her I will get there as soon as I can but if it's that bad to call an ambulance. She was really scared. So she called and they came and took her to the hospital. I went and met her there. She was writhing all over in pain. Hospitals take a while so she was in pain for a while. The doctor finally came and gave her some meds that did not help. He quickly upped that to morphine. Well, she has found a new friend. She is quite fond of that stuff. It took her pain away and it was great to see her finally relax.

After more questions, lab test on urine, and a CT Scan to confirm, Kidney stone. This was actually a huge relief because the pain started sudden while she was driving home from work. The fear was that it was either her appendix which is the reason I said to call the ambulance, you don't want to mess around with that, or a ovarian cyst bursting. Her family has history of this and she has had that before. So the stone, while excruciatingly painful is a better outcome than those two scenarios.

She was discharged around 11:30 with a couple scripts. We went to fill those at a local 24 hour pharmacy and then came home. She passed the stone after we got home. She is sore but resting.

Michael, glad to see she's OK.
Also, glad to see that morphine worked for her. That stuff didn't do anything for me when I was in hospital few weeks ago.

Glad thats over with. My aunt & uncle and cousins all had kidney stones. I don't even want to think about. Glad the worst part is over.

Thanks bro. I guess different people react differently to different meds. Make sure Brendon and Jeff push you around all week. Or just get a self propelled lawn mower and hang on to it while sitting in your wheel chair ;-)

Jeff is the best out of the three! Way cooler than Brendon or Dave or John!!!!!

This is what happens when you give a shady character like Jeff access to your computer :-)
