Stones
Friday, November 10, 2006
I won't blog about the horrors that was Paper 2 of E Maths, suffice to say that an A1 would be incredibly hard to achieve.
I will however, blog about my dad's discovery of his kidney stones (2 small ones in the left, 1 big one 11mm in the right)
This morning was a whirlwind of activity and shock for me. I learnt that when I was sleeping the previous night, my father had to visit the hospital--being in intense pain does something to you. Before the exams, he had to go take an X-ray. During my exams, he was getting the results..Apparently, the pain is due to the big stone moving around.
Anyway, he was scheduled to see the doctor on Monday to begin the treatment, something about soundwaves breaking up the big one, but being in that much pain he didn't think he could hold out that long and his very rich/influential friend managed to get his private doctor to contact him.
He's on his way to the hospital again. My mother and sister had to accompany him, and my mum was supporting his arm.
Seeing the man who has been strong all my life being in this vulnerable a state is decidedly unsettling and worrying.
I swear--I'm going to cut down on my sodium intake from now on.
