I have had all my kids here for the past few days.  My son left earlier this afternoon to go back to school to play at a basketball playoff game but he’ll be back tomorrow night.  Anyway, I got up early and cooked breakfast for everyone and spent the remainder of the day relaxing and spending time with the family.

All in all a pretty good day without much pain.  I did get out for a little while with the wife when cabin fever kicked in and I couldn’t stand being inside any longer. You got to remember I’ve been cooped up in this house since Tuesday of last week with the exception of the half an hour I spent attempting to go to work.  It felt good just being outside if only for a little while.

I share a lot on here and maybe a little too much.  That is why I won’t go into detail as to what I’m going to say next.  I stayed in the bathroom for nearly two hours tonight.  Everything finally passed and I felt like I gave birth to twins.  I’ll find it hard to walk in the morning.  I guess all the meds are making me dry up.  Even with that I think I’ve shared too much.  Oh well.

Compared to yesterday, today was  like a breath of fresh air.  The kidney stone still has not passed as far as I know.  I’ve been drinking plenty of water and going to the bathroom more times that I care to count.  I still have a little pain in my lower back but I can deal with that as long as it doesn’t get any worse.  I’m hoping to go to the store tomorrow and get some stuff together for our upcoming Christmas dinner.

I got up this morning, pain was somewhat minimal.  I got a shower and started getting dressed when the pain started increasing.  I went ahead and got dressed and took my pain meds before I left for work.  The temperature had dropped and caused my windshield to be coated with a heavy coat of ice.  By the time I scrapped all the ice I was in considerable pain.  I was determined to make it to work my I just couldn’t make it.  I turned around just before reaching the interstate.  I made it home just as my wife was leaving for work.  I went inside and took two ibuprofen PM so I could at least get some rest.  I woke up at 2pm when my oncologist called to tell me that my medication had been approved by my insurance company. After a few phone calls to the pharmacy and to the drug manufacturer I went back to bed. It is now 10:30 pm and I haven’t been up long.  I’ve already taken my pain meds and I’m going to take a shower before going back to bed.  I haven’t eaten anything all day because I just haven’t felt like it.  Maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow.
