Actually given the wickedly infirm patriarchs contained in my family's medical history, 57 is the age beyond which none of the E@L forebears pass easily.

I haven't had or blogged about that sort of pain since I was in Cairo last year. THe CT I had in Australia (free for tourists) four years ago showed three tiny ones still there. Opiates and water is the preferred treatment, isn't it Rockstar? You don't want the tubes and stents if you can avoid it (no pun intended).expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-44231375868011584832009-07-08T10:30:54.996+10:002009-07-08T10:30:54.996+10:00Thought of you on Friday when I got a special bran...Thought of you on Friday when I got a special brand of pain under my left rib cage towards me back. The kind that takes your breath away like a good hoovering will. Too late to visit the GP and wouldn't have been able to get a scan before Monday so I just toughed it out Friday and Saturday with opiates and lots of water since. Methinks kidney stone.<br /><br />Hmmm...I'm on the bad side of 40 so perhaps my guarantee is up too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550089403967201201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-44368541867951891332009-07-03T00:00:13.932+10:002009-07-03T00:00:13.932+10:00I throw my back out from time to time.

Rest is the only thing that works for me but I might try blogging next time.
