Dealing with what seems to be a left kidney blockage due to stones. Have had a fever (controllable with ibuprofen, thankfully) for a week+ now, and throbbing/swelling in the area. I've had stones before, in both kidneys, and the pain isn't anything close to that, thankfully. Still peeing, although it's likely mostly from the right kidney.
Doing a pee test tomorrow, and I'm getting a referral for the urologist. Hopefully he'll be able to blast them without actual surgery.

Having to get used to being on the scrapheap.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"There's a Red House over yonder...."
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yikes, I'm sorry! I hope everything goes well at the doctor's and you get good news!
I had a dream last night that Rob Ford and Ted Cruz came to my office to do a lunch-and-learn, and at the end Cruz basically ran through a propaganda slideshow about how awful Hilary is and my whole office started going off on him about how inappropriate it was for him to use this time to promote himself and bash someone else...
What a weird dream...
