Like a rolling stone.......kidney stone that is.
We went to the Humanist dinner on Saturday night. I felt fine when we got home, although my back has been sore lately (nothing new there). While watching the news I got some severe stabs of pain in my lower right side (starboard for all you sailors out there) and from then on it the pain could be described as being stabbed in the back....you actually get used to it but if you move slightly, then the knife cuts into you more....thats the best way I can describe it. I could not lie down in bed and could barely walk all Saturday night. I was resigned to spending the night in my easy chair in a position that was 'the least painful', generally the fetal position. Catherine tried to stay with me , sleeping on the sofa but ended up in a power struggle for sofa domination with the beagle. Catherine gave the sofa up to the 'Princess' went back to bed but would appear as if by magic whenever I had to go to the bathroom. The pain is much worse for a while after you urinate, so I was glad that she was there to help me struggle back to the easy chair. By Sunday the pain was easing off to just a stabbing pain when I move left...as it is today.....so I spend ll my time making right turns. Its a good thing that our house rooms can be accessed either in a clock-wise or counter clock-wise direction because it saves me from bumping into walls.
Mom was here dog-sitting since Thursday. We celebrated Catherine's birthday with a Jeannie's cake and plans to go out for dinner on Sunday. For obvious reasons, we did not go out to dinner on Sunday, postponing it until another time. Catherine received a beautiful book on dragons from Margot. This is a gift I know whe will read over and over again.
Speaking of Catherine, she had a good time in Saint John, NB visiting her Dad. Her Dad is not in the best of health and at 81 it is to be expected. But...the old guy is still in love with his best girl Sue. According to all who know her, it is a race between Bob and Sue as to who is going to bleed Gordie dry of his money (what little he has left) first! Well, maybe it is not so bad that Gordie is 'in love'. He always must be 'in love'...it is an imperative where Gordie is concerned, and if it makes him happy in his later years, then so be it. Let him be happy. But I can't help thinking about Gord's daughter Bunny who has MS and his son Gordie who died of ALS...both of them could have used or could use some help from Gordie but it is the people like Bob and Sue who are devious enough to get at it.
Anyhow, I understand that Gary and Carol are ...or should be getting back to Victoria this afternoon. Of course Gary will want to stop at a garage to check out the terrible rocking motion that the RV was making as they crossed the strait on the ferry!!......on warrant of course.
I've got three words for you all.......well figure it out from two words.....can U guess?
