multipurposegoddessWhat was happening with me yesterday? Oh, right:
Just got off the phone - dad is bored enough to get dressed so he can do laps around the hospital. He got tired of waiting for a second gown so he could keep his rear covered and just piut on the clothes he had on when he came in.
So, the full story, he and my mom had been hiking up at Pt. Reyes with a group they hike with regularly. They were gonna have to leave early, so they kind of hurried through the first bit so they could get back to the car in time to get to the next appointment, rested for a bit where they figured the rest of the group would catch them, though the rest of the group congregated a little ways away from them on the beach. So, dad headed over to tell them that he and mom were heading home so they wouldn't, and the group started moving away from him so he had to run to catch up and then they had to hurry back to the car and he started feeling bad and cramping up a little, so he ended up postponing the meeting he was trying to get to.
He said it felt very much like when he had kidney stones a while back, so he figured he'd drink a lot of water to try to flush 'em out. That didn't work, and he 2am he was throwing up all the water he'd been drinking and the waves of pain had become one long continuous bout of pain, so mom took him to the ER where they decided his gall bladder was full of sludge. At first they gave him a bunch pain meds and told him he could go home when they worked ,but the pain wasn't lessening and the consensus was that he'd probably have another attack in a few days anyway, so they took the gall bladder out.
Waiting to find out of he can go home, now. He fully expects to.
