HOME AGAIN HOME AGAIN JIGGITY JIG


It's ooooohhhh so nice to be home! We had a wonderful time, but there really is no place like home. I feel like I should do like Dorothy and click my heels together and recite "there's no place like home, there's no place like home....."
We left for the airport this morning at 6AM and literally traveled ALL day. We flew from Palm Springs to Atlanta, drove to Columbus and stopped and saw the kids for awhile and then drove on home.
I'm still feeling pretty yucky. My bad is hurting alot unless I keep taking Aleve. As soon as the plane landed in Atlanta, I dialed my doctor's office so I could talk with the nurse before they left for the weekend. She said that the medicine won't work on some strains of kidney infections and mine might be one of them OR (and this I didn't want to hear) it might be I have a kidney stone. She suggested I go to the emergency room or a "doc-in-a-box" type place if it gets worse this weekend, otherwise, call them on Monday. Luckily, George's car has seat warmers and they helped alot on the way home and so did the Aleve. I've never had a kidney stone, but my son has several times and so has my friend, Beth, so I know I don't want one for sure!

I do hope too that you don't have a kidney stone. I have never had one either, but from those who have, I've heard that it's really, really painful. It's too bad your doctor's office doesn't have someone on call over the weekend. I always hate the ER experience.

Dick is totally over the stomach virus, his throat is better, and the fluid on his elbow seems to be going down. He spends a lot of time with a heating pad on it. The snow shoveling he did last evening probably wasn't part of the prescribed treatment!

We are glad you are back home and hope you get to the bottom of what is causing your pain. I have heard that kidney stones are the worst kind of pain.

We DID have our snow party last night. I don't know how much snow we got but when Alan was using the snow blower at 3 yesterday, it looked to be about 3 inches. Far more has fallen over the night. It is 6 AM and I hear men out shoveling.
