Last Night, I couldn't get to sleep at all, No No No

We had a good time last night except for the night cap at the ER.
In the middle of everything,
Steve suddenly got a kidney stone.
(he has a condition called renal dysplasia or something like that)
Anyway, he had to leave the restaurant due to intense pain.
(a kidney stone passing is often compared to the pain of childbirth, but worse)
our friend the ob-gyn, dropped him off at the ER where they doped him up immediately.

While this may seem odd that I did not go with him,
Steve wanted me to stay with the group, because he did not want the evening to be disrupted.
plus he said that once they administered meds, he would be out of it anyway.
Anyhow, after dinner I went straight to the ER and finished our date there.

He has not passed the stone yet
(like anxious parents, we are awaiting the birth of this calcified culprit).
I have been up all night.
Between Steve's vomiting,
and the dog's incessant need to relieve himself due to the copious
amount of ground coffee that he got into and ate--

Life has not been dull.

Pictures from last night here.
