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.

That's a pretty long time to be out of the hospital. I'd probably be dead if that were the case for me! Anyways, I'm really sorry that your dad is so sick and going through this, but he will get better. That's the important thing to remember.

Ouch! Kidney stones are TERRIBLE. I'm sorry he is sick, but I'm glad he's finally getting the medical attention he needs. I hope he feels better very soon.
