Oh, I got the stones
Hopefully this will be the start of some more regular, non-poetry-posting LJ action on my part. Would that it could have begun more auspiciously...
My doctor thinks I have a kidney stone. Around 4 pm yesterday I was hit with wave after wave of nausea, diziness, and pain in my abdomen probably ranking in the top 3 most physically painful experiences I can remember.
I had to excuse myself from class, which BLOWS, because it was Robert Pinsky's (1997-2000 Us Poet Laureate) 3-hour seminar, which he flies in from Cambridge, MA to teach once a week.
After waiting a very uncomfortable 20 minutes at urgent care, I eventually received a delightful shot in the buttocks of some weird hormonal drug, the name of which escapes me. While it did make my ass sore, the pain went right away-which the nurse says only happens, usually, if you do have kidney stones.
WHOOHOOO!!!
I was supposed to go in this morning for a CT scan, but the machine is broken (of course). So, meanwhile, i'm narced out on vicodin and waiting to piss the thing out.
Another friendly update on the Life of Luke. Bigger and better things soon to come...
