My Dad had to be hospitalized on Christmas Eve with a very large kidney stone, and lots of pain. He has been in for two days, the pain is subsided, and a procedure done and found out that he needs a few things fixed up inside as he has been too stubborn to tell his doctor symptoms that he has been having. So, we will start with the kidney stone, then work our way around, and hopefully, get him feeling better in a couple of months. He is not used to anything like this as he has never been in the hospital since he was 6 years old for an apendectomy, and he is 76.
