So that's what it is...

After -another- visit to the emergency room and further diagnosis from the first one, it's been determined that Lisa has a small kindney stone working its way out of her body.

Not dangerous -- but painful and scary.

So armed with ibuproten and lots of water, we're at Origins!

Oh, those are awful. Not dangerous, as you say, but certainly not pleasant either.

Best wishes for getting through this unscathed.

Thanks.

I gather some can be life threatening, if they block urine getting out, but was assured mine is not.

I hope that it passes quickly and as painlessly as possible!

I hope you have a good time at the con, despite everything.

Thanks. So far, it's quite nice here.

Ouch! At least we know what knocked her for a loop @ Contata.

Have fun @ Origins.

Yah. I understand why they didn't check for it at first, being worried about the stuff like, oh, appendicitis.

Origins is good, thus far.

Ouch!! At least it is something she can live through - not easily, but it is doable. May it pass quickly.
*hugs*

Thanks. Trying to flood it out.

I once had one of those. Very painful. Best wishes to her.

Thanks -- and sympathy!

Ouch!

Hang in there! I hope she feels better soon.

Thanks! Working on it.

Glad to hear that it was nothing really serious, although kidney stones are not so much dangerous, as they are unpleasant to have to deal with.

I trust that Origins is going well, and that you'll post up reports on the con as you get the chance and all.

Not life threatening, I am told, though a friend had one the doctor considered serious enough to forbid him from being more than half a mile from hospital.

Will try to do Origins summaries.

Please do. Would be much appreciated, both by you and by [livejournal.com profile] mnemex. :)

I've done a short version of Wednesday and Thursday. If I post the long version, it'll likely be in [livejournal.com profile] labcats.
