Grandmother just got her first Kidney Stone.

Well my wife's grandmother "Mimi" turned 80 this year and just her luck she grew a kidney stone.  So I spend the whole afternoon at the ER with her.  She had the same signs of having a kidney stone, side pain or as the Dr. kept saying today "Flank Pain" and vomiting.  She awoke this morning to a shooting pain in her left side and had to call a neighbor a few hours later to take her to the ER.  My wife and I were on vacation and of course our cell phones were dead because we were Roaming all weekend.  But as soon as we plugged them in and was able to turn them back on they started blowing up with messages.

We just got home and Mimi is doing fine, they gave here to much Liquid which made her lungs fill up with liquid so the had to admit her to the ICU.  Tomorrow morning they plan on Retrieving the Kidney Stone with the basket (I have not had this procedure done to date, but I'm sure I will one day).  I feel you all in tomorrow after the surgery.
