no running all week due to work. i did get back on my weight training schedule. i didn't run today either, since i had a rough night last night. we had our annual nwtf Christmas party and got home somewhere around 11 or so. about midnight i started having some pain in my abdomen. gas pains i thought. then they got worse and worse. i got in a position laying on the bathroom floor where pain went away for about a minute. i got up to put some pants on to go to the emergency room and the pain got much worse and i had to lay back down. finally, i told emily to call the ambulance because there was no way i could get back up. the emts had to drag me out of the bathroom and through our bedroom because i refused to stand back up. they would not give me any pain medicine until i got to the hospital and was examined. however, on the way to the hospital, the road was blocked by a wrecker who was trying to move a wrecked car out of the way, and there was another car that was blocked. in that car was a lady who was having a seizure, and as i understand it, was pretty bad. there was another ambulance on the way for her, but they were coming from a long way off. so, my emts took care of her and then got back to me. i don't know how long that took, but it seemed like at least 30 minutes. luckily i was able to vomit so the emt gave me nausea medicine that just about put me to sleep and eventually took away the pain. i don't remember much after that other than occasional brief glimpses of nurses and a doctor and getting a ct scan then parts of riding home. they said i was passing a kidney stone. i slept most of the day. i have had just a little pain of about 1-2 minutes once today.
thought of the day: pain sucks.
