LOL!

One of the things I dread about any gathering is the person or persons who go on at length about their illnesses. There are some 'Catters who are suffering through terrible times and yet we hear little from them about illness. I honor them.

I say this because I am afraid this foolish little BLOG has become just what I hate, an endless litany of illness and pain. But when you are sick and house bound there is precious little news to offer.

All this is a lead in to yet another problem... kidney stones. I am in pain and have been all day.

'Nuff said.

Last week I complained to the doctor about pain under the cast. He split it and loosened it up but did nothing to relieve the spot where the cast rubbed on the end of the pins. So, on Saturday, Wakana and I played doctor. No, you gutter minds, not that way. We had our own operation. We used a hole saw to cut into the cast above the pins and took out the four or five layers of fiberglass that covered the pins. Then we cut through the bandages and opened up the area over them. Relief was instantaneous.
