Entry 71: Worst Pain Ever

For those that don't know Lance had open heart surgery a little over 5 years ago, but last Friday he had something happen to him that was worse than anything he has ever felt before. He was stricken with a kidney stone. Now Lance has a very high pain threshold, but this actually had him crying on the ground and pulling his hair out. After the pain medication was administered however he was fine and passed the stone a few days later.

Believe it or not the dog even played a part in this story. Julie was in Washington, Missouri for her bachelorette party when this all occurred and Lance called his friend to take him to the hospital. His friend wasn't home, but his wife thought Lance sounded like he was in a lot of pain and called 911. Well Lance decided to drive himself to the ER and when the paramedics and fire department arrived since Lance wasn't in the house they were able to jimmy the door open. Well the only problem with that is that as soon as they opened the door the dog ran out. The end result was that it took my friend and 2 firemen 15 minutes to retrieve the dog.

The good news is that Lance is fine and the dog recovered.
