David had another kidney stone problem Thursday night. This was much worse than the previous one, and we ended up with firemen and paramedics in the livingroom, before they took him off in an ambulance. He spent the night in Concordia emergency, and they did enough testing to determine that he has, at least, one very large stone that will have to be treated with lasers. So, he's been referred to Health Sciences Centre, and instructed to go to that emergency if there are problems in the meantime.
I had called the non-emergency line to get a ride for him to emergency, explaining that neither of us could drive, and he wouldn't have been safe with a taxi. The fellow listened to me and up-graded the call to emergency. The last thing David had wanted was the lights and sirens!
So yesterday we spent our day quietly, as neither of us had had much in the way of sleep. Toward evening it became obvious that both of us were quickly developing head colds. Dammit! I sometimes think we're experiencing the "trials of Job". Here's hoping for a quieter weekend.
