#jokid Dropped Rx by Walgreen's. Will get in hour. Looks like I'll have more in future. Too much fun. Thx for nice tweets!
#jokid Will have to see specialist. Dr. called me a "stone farmer." Closest I've come to Kansas Ag. LOL
#jokid Dr confirms small stone in right kidney causing today's problem. Says left kidney has lots of stones. Previews.
#jokid Back in ER. Sample time for tech. They just sent home the guy in the bay with me. Good Luck! Don't know what is going on now.
#jokid On way back to ER.
#jokid Bummer! I phone battery has really been draining fast. May not last much longer.
#jokid. Hallway 8ft wide. Great 3g signal on one side coming in. Lousy on other side on gurney coming out. They just called ER again for me.
#jokid Joe done with my CT scan. Now out in hallway discussing iPhone vs Sprint Instinct with nurse. Have I said how much I liked pain med?
#jokid in for CT scan. Sounds a bit like a jet engine reving up. Really nice staff throughout hospital.
#jokid On gurney in hall waiting to go in for CT scan. Pain med turned a 7 out of 10 into a 0 without causing me to trip like morphine.
#jokid Everyone is really nice. Stii, they are stripping me down and poking me. Much better pain med than morphine in1988.
Unusual start to day. Think I'm having kidney stone attack. In ER at Stormont-Vail. #jokid
