That sounds nasty, hope they can fix it too.
I found out that my dad had a couple of kidney stones removed this morning. Spoke with him this arvo and he seems to be recovering well and was hoping to be discharged from hospital later today. I would have thought they'd keep him in at least overnight but he seem pretty confident they were gunna let him go? Anyway, it's the old buggers birthday tomorrow. Happy bloody (literally) birthday ay.
