You know it's going to be a bad day when....

...you have kidney surgery that doesn't find anything.

...you spend four hours barfing from the anesthetic.

...the husband and the baby are both sick.

...and all of these happen on the same day.

Yeah, that was my yesterday. I had a bout of kidney stones in early October so after a CAT scan which revealed stones in both kidneys (yeah, I really must stop being an overachiever...:)) the doctor scheduled me for a ureteroscopy on my right kidney to remove the stones. Fine. Except...well...they didn't find anything. Doc says I must have passed them. Phooey, says I...but anyway, I'm not scheduling the next surgery on my left kidney unless I have real proof that there's a stone there. Take that, doc.

And oh yeah, I hate, hate, HATE recovery from anesthetic. Projectile barfing really isn't my thing.

And Rob is sick---I think with the flu. It could just be a bad cold, but whatever it is, it's knocked him out for the count. Roisin has a milder version of the same thing, but her nose is all stuffy and red and she's not in a happy place now either.

So, I've had surgery yesterday. And I'm feeling better than anyone else. You have to love it. :-)
