The Bullmeister remembers his bout with kidney stones. It happened on his birthday. It sucked. However, knowing what was happening, he thought he’d tough it out, force water and wait for everything to pass.
That was the plan.
The Bull spent three days puking and riding waves of pain. Finally, on the third night when the Bull couldn’t even sit, he made a trip to the hospital. Morphine didn’t touch the pain. So the Bulldog spent hours squirming on a gurney until they hit him up with some other pain med that worked for kidney stones. It was enough to take the edge off the nausea and let the Bull pass the hell out. He went home, chugged some water and collapsed. The next day, the stone passed. It was not something the Bull wanted to repeat.
Wasn’t that a fun story? Everyone loves to read about other people’s medical tribulations.
This is what encompassed the first half of “No Flowers for Carlini”. It was six pages of medical expletive.
Then there were some calls to the family.
Then more medical procedures.
Then flowers.
All and all, I didn’t get the whole cap. Maybe I’m too dim to understand. Given the delay in reading it, I wanted to love the cap and give the VC good news. However, I got nothing. Maybe Rocks will feel differently.
But, no.
