I was lucky - timing wise - Scruffy_Fly - 05-09-2007
Sunday morning found me in the Emergency room. The nurse said later that I definitely looked very ashened when I walked in. It turned out that I had a kidney stone on the move. At least the pain was not bad enough to want to be dead .... as I did when I had one 20 some odd years ago.
The lucky part is that it did not happen 3 days before when I was 3 miles up the canyon on the Green River . Forty mountain miles from the nearest medical assistance of any kind. Four hundred miles from home.
The fishing trip was a good one.
Here is what we wrote about the fishing.

Nice report and damn lucky timing. One of those little stones can put a weird paddle stroke on the toon in a hurry.
Thanks for making it back in one piece.[cool]

I'm glad you found the humor in it. I was an EMT for several years and mostly dedicated to water rescue.
I had a few rescues that were to the tune of a small kidney stone and one was a small thrombus.
They had to change the Roflmao to RORBcmao
Rolling on river bottom crying my --- off.[cool]
Glad to see you made it ok.[

]Hey there Scruffy_Fly - been there done that. I know what you are going through. Felt like I had a thrashing Gator stuck in my side. They finally blasted that sucker into sand size stones that passed on quick easily.[/size][/green][/font][signature]
