A Night At the Emergency Room

After the big birthday party, Jim said his back was hurting. Then when he started to cuss, I knew he was in a lot of pain. So a quick call to our in-house physician (thanks, Brad!), told us we needed to head out to the Emergency room. So with the kids at my mom's, off we went. I grabbed my camera on the way out so I could document this all important occasion.

Here is the entrance to the hospital.

Here is Jim checking in at the desk. See how he is hunched over in pain.

Now let's talk a bit about hospital fashion. I was a little embarrassed because in my hurry to get my kids together and get him to the hospital, I slipped on my brown flip flops. The reason for my concern is apparent when you see the next picture.

I have on black and white. Everyone knows you don't wear brown with black. Anyway, my mind was quickly put at ease when I saw that the most popular outfit to wear to the hospital is pajamas. There were at least 3 people with pajamas on (only one was an actual patient). Another accessory that several people had forgotten were teeth. Imagine my surprise when hubby and I were definitely the best dressed people at the hospital.

Anyway, after 3 long hours of waiting, the conclusion is 3 kidney stones.

After the pain medicine, he was a much happier person to be around.

BTW, when he was doing all of his paperwork to be admitted to the ER, I snapped this picture and scared all the ladies working there. That 's the life of a blogger.
