So yesterday will definitely go down in history as one of the weirdest of my life. I woke up yesterday feeling a little weird. My stomach had been bothering me on Wednesday also so I decided to stay home. I called my boss and work and went back to bed. Within a half hour of calling in I was in agony – repeatedly throwing up, cold sweat, and having the most excruciating pain in my lower abdomen – worse that labor. I hobbled over to my neighbor’s house and asked her to take me to the emergency room. At the emergency room an angel (aka Pete the nurse) swooped down and immediately took me back and provided blessed relief in the form of morphine. I had a CT scan and found out I had 3 kidney stones!! A little more morphine, a lot of water, and time was all it was going to take to make me feel better. What a relief!! The morphine made me a little loopy and I decided that I need to continue on with my day – that included having my work hung at the Satellite Coffee in the Nob Hill area. I sent my fabulous friend Leau over to my work with a disk containing the layout for my tags to go with the work. I got released around noon and we headed over to my work to pickup the tags and then met the lovely Spring at Satellite so that she could commence with the hanging. Shortly after leaving the hospital I started feeling horrible and after meeting Spring we went back to the hospital. A little more morphine and a few more drugs and I was back out at around 5. Leau and I sped over to Satellite to view my work (it looked awesome), and then headed over to the pharmacy to pickup my pain meds.

OH my gosh! What a crazy day…I was thinking maybe appendecitis when I started reading. I have heard kidney stones are incredibly painful – yuk!!

Holy smokes,I hope you’re OK. To have that kind of stamina or gumption…. what a woman! Fade to black would have been way up the list for me.
