My thanks to all my friends for the well wishes and visits in recent days. Especially also my thanks for the many snacks and drinks I am enjoying.
Friday I am off by ambulance and two nurses for a trip to Koen Kean to see a specialist there.
It all started last Friday when I experienced severe pain in my side and back. A free ambulance ride to the hospital, where an x-ray confirmed my suspicion that I had a kidney stone moving into the urethra. I was given an injection to control the pain and some medicine to see me through the weekend for a Monday appointment with a specialist.
Saturday night I returned to the Hospital for another injection and some stronger pain medicine.
During the Monday appointment I was admitted into the hospital with the intent of removing the stone. I was given pain medicine at regular intervals and a number of tests.
Heart is healthy, blood pressure normal, almost a clean bill of health.
The 'procedure' to remove the stone was to happen Tuesday. Before that could happen a CT scan (6,000 baht) was ordered for the correct location of the stone.
Utter panic after the results of the scan. The procedure was cancelled, I was told not to walk or do anything strenuous. The doctor consulted with my friends for an hour. Not with me.
You know how things get twisted in translation.... I was ready to say AMEN.
It took a few phone calls to determine that a major artery running through my intestine had ballooned.
The doctors were worried it could burst at any moment.
Personally I think that condition had been there for some time, as I have been having stomach cramps almost daily for at least the past year.
Meanwhile no cigarettes or coffee for three days, I'm actually breathing without wheezing. But the urge is still very strong.
