Simple pleasures

[subplotkudzu]

Even when you're fighting down low-end nausea, nagging pain and the after-effect of opiates, it's still fun to hack around with D&D character sheets and spend money on magic items. I find this to be a great comfort.

For those of you wondering, the lithotripsy isn't a problem; the stent they install afterward sucks. I just have to go on the doctor's promise that things would be worse without it.

Get well soon!

P.S. Am I the only one in A&E not to have suffered from renal calculi? And am I now next?

Ow! That sounds distressingly similar to my first kidney stone experience. I had a stent put in but it really didn't seem to help much; the pain was constant and interfered with my concentration. Eventually the consultant decided to go in and physically remove the stone, after which everything got back to normal.

I have shared your pain (don't know if that helps) and I hope you get through this soon.

Bet you haven't rolled up any characters as outrageously high-stats as Doc Menace though.

Owwww...

Get well soon, man...

And just remember -- it would have been far worse not to have the lithotripsy, with or without the stent...
