Pain in the Back

I've had a backache for about a week.  I first thought I'd slept wrong or pulled a muscle picking up Malachi, but it turns out I have KIDNEY STONES!  Oh, joy.  And along with the stones, a kidney infection.  I ended up giving blood, urine, being xrayed, and pumped full of water and drugs.  So after spending 3.5 hours at the doctor this evening, I come home with various drugs and devices to monitor the passage of the kidney stones from my body.  It wasn't exactly the way I'd thought I'd spend the evening.
