Kidney Stone Scare

Post number 2 .... awesome. I woke up this morning, got myself a gun - sorry that's the beginning to the Sopranos theme song, and I couldn't help myself. Anyway, I woke up this morning and felt the ominous twinge in my lower back on the right side. Kidney stone number 11. So I e-mailed the instructor of my golf class, telling her that I would not be in attendance today, I made a bowl of oatmeal, and I got my pain medication ready so that I could time the dosages around my classes. A half hour later, the pain was gone. Two hours later, it was back. Then it was gone again. It continued like that all day... So while other students waltz about campus worrying about which boy or girl made eyes at them at the last kegger, I walked around wondering if I was indeed passing my 11th kidney stone, or if my mind was making up the pain because of the glorious release provided by pain medications. A possible non-kidney stone was able to prevent me from the only class that I look forward to: Golfing 101. It is only on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Last Wednesday was a snow day, and the last two Mondays have been guest speakers (more like guest sleepers, boom roasted!). Maybe on Monday I will get to hit a few golf balls... O yea, it was -2 with the wind chill today. Classes were torturously boring today: hyperbolas in math, direct and indirect object pronouns in spanish, and electric potential in physics. That's code for glazed eyes in math, yawns in spanish, and mindless doodling in physics :-) I can smell pizza. Someone in my dorm has a pizza. I really, really miss pizza. Real pizza with extra cheese, pepperoni, grease soaking through the box, dipped in Papa John's garlic butter dipping sauce. A glorious heart attack waiting to happen. I (used to) like me some Papa John's. Buffalo wings, too? Yea, I smell buffalo wings. That's odd, people generally don't order pizza and wings at 11 at night on a Wednesday. LeBron dropped 52 on the Knicks tonight. Take that Jay-Z ... he's ours for at least a couple more years. Take that Kobe ... LeBron scored 52 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists two nights after you scored 61 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assists against the exact same team in the exact same arena. Advantage: LeBron.
