Went in for a "routine" kidney stone lithotripsy on 5/16. Recovery was supposed to be 2 days, no sweat. Ended up with a giant 9mmx5mm chunk stuck in my ureter. Second procedure involved things I'm uncomfortable with. Resulted in stent. Got stent removed, four hours later I had fever, chills, sick as I ever have been. Missed several days' work, lost a couple weekends. Took the last antibiotic a couple hours ago. Still not running on all 8.

Been a long month.
(if you've ever had a kidney stone, I don't need to explain)
Dang brother, that sounds rough! I’m scared just thinking about it… best wishes I hope you get back to running on all 8 asap

What annoyances have you had to deal with lately, that you consider stupid? I'm sure everyone has a ton.

What annoyances have you had to deal with lately, that you consider stupid

I will concede that this is not as big a deal as health issue - but a minor somewhat humorous annoyance

8 1 y/o mother who refuses to wear needed hearing aids is hosting several members of her family -- youngest perhaps 72

Dealing with the phonecall on speaker phone

"Son! How do you work the Netflix?"

hushed voices in the background "dont bother him - its Friday ----"

"It says the internet is disconnected !! -----maybe Button can figure it out - he's an electrician "
(2nd minor annoyance - 72 year old dude going by his childhood nickname )

"Oh wait -- there it goes ! - whats the user name? "

---- this goes on for another 3-4 minutes until several very well educated , albeit, a little bit older, adults finally get a handle on how to use an Apple TV remote

You don’t need it or use it anyways, so just get rid of it. Though it might make sword wielding slightly more challenging.
Sorry I need it, and I did not hurt it swinging a sword.
You have to get the El Cid with the assisted swing mechanism
I swing just fine, or at least I did when I was younger.
@RickN Your suppose to swap hands before that happens. Repetitive motion is hard on muscles.
Not how I hurt it. Lifting something to heavy again.

Visiting F-i-L. Go to check into hotel, last night.
Have stayed in this hotel, 2 - 3 times a year, for 10 years.
Get to desk and clerk is on phone. It's Friday eve of a holiday weekend and ONLY 1 person on duty.
Old woman on phone, hasn't a clue, asking incessant and redundant questions.
What is room cost?
Can we get a better rate?
Is it a handicap room?
Smoking?
Pets?
Breakfast included?
Senior discount?
Military discount?
AARP discount?
Is it cheaper online?
Is it 1st floor room?

Other customers are lining up behind me. Phone has rang 4 times and rolled over to voice mail.
45 mins! and old bat says to book the room. Idget gets reservation made and THEN ASKED, "would you like sign up for our REWARDS CLUB?"

I turned the guy behind me and loudly said, "Friday, holiday weekend and 1 moron on duty! I will never stay here, again." He agreed.
Widget got off of phone and started to check me in. The phone and he reached for it. I told him to not touch that phone, he had customers waiting.
2 people at the back of the line, walked out.

I hope I get an online survey.

About 20 years ago, I was having a gold cap put on a molar. The tech was checking its to insure it would fit befor the Doctor glued it on. She had the chair leaned back over 45 degrees. After she pushed it on; she pulled it back off…..and dropped it back into my throat. It was pretty heavy and got stuck in the back of my throat kid of just between my esophagus and my epiglottis. Luckily, I was able to swallow it instead of letting it go down my trachea. Two days later, I brought it back to the Dentist’s Office. They cleaned it and sterilized it at my request, and mounted it on the tooth. The people I worked with still laugh about it…..
