Just made a dozen Scottish eggs. Anybody hungry?

57F @ 95% RH, with 6 mph winds and predicted to reach 61F and good air quality.

I had my follow up with my GP following my kidney stone incident yesterday and my appointment with my urologist is tomorrow. Some minor twinges on and off, leading to wonder if the stone just moved and relieved the pressure, but hasn't yet passed. It was 5mm, which is at the outer limits and hasn't shown up in the sieve.

A funny but not experience in the process. I was sitting in the emergency room triage clammy and sweating, talking to one nurse on a computer, while another took my vitals. I told them that I had a ghastly excruciating pain in my lower abdomen that felt like a kidney stone or a bowel blockage, and answered questions about location and severity. When the nurse taking my vitals removed the cuff, I asked him what my BP was and he said 197 over 121. He then asked, "Are you in pain"?????

The numbers also gave me cause to wonder how many old folks die from elevated heart beat and BP caused by various other things and are diagnosed as heat attacks?????????????

My oooooold friend is off the porcelain bus and ready to work on my stereo receiver, so I dropped it off to him in a neighboring town. A nice drive and gorgeous weather, but heavy traffic the whole way there and back. Having gotten used to pandemic level traffic, I was again shocked to realize how many people are on the road here, with evening rush hour starting about 2:00PM.

Same heading to dinner last night to celebrate our 37th anniversary at Zilla Sake Japanese restaurant. I finally turned off and backtracked some, so as to take the back way to make it time for our reservations. A disappointment with the overall menu and their miso soup, but the sashimi and real ground wasabi were excellent. Alas, my favorite Japanese restaurant, Yuki's, didn't survive the pandemic........................

Hope you get better soon GW. By the way ..... Happy Anniversary. 37 years is a long time with the same person.

@Big....I will help you with the scissors if you help me.

The dog and Mrs Pute are anxious for their walk....gotta do that first before my garden chores start.....
 
Alas the 5mm stone had not passed and I was in fetal position from about 6:AM Thursday until around 3:30 AM this morning, and still haven't passed it. It has moved again and I'm enjoying a brief pause. I see the urologist at 11:00AM this morning and may have to have it removed.
I hope things work out for the best. Never had issues like that but I have heard that is worse than child birth.
 
Yep Doctors will want all your Money before You kick, and have a whole slew of tests lined up by age. Its all figured out already. Bastards
That is why I do everything I can to stay healthy. Exercise, eat right, use my mind and stay away from hard drugs.

Sounds like a great idea! I'll help out. Send all of those hard drugs to me for proper disposal.....
