Bad Luck Day?

Looks like the ones from the Arachnophobia movie.  haha

 

Do you know what kind it is? That is one big spider, I hate those things.

 

I found one in my bed, right behind my wife the other night. It made the creepiest crunch sound when I smashed it. That was a late night moving furniture and hunting for spiders.

 

Na I don't like spiders haha I think we should call it a Friday 13th spider :). Probably a big house spider.

I'm sitting in emergency with my wife at the moment.

Two 9mm kidney stones, and a bladder infection.

 

I read this as "I'm sitting in the emergency room with my wife at the moment. Two 9mm shots to the kidney, and a bladder infection." For a second there, I thought you got shot. And then I wondered why you would be on the forums at a time like this.

I read that at 90% my normal speed, pretty amazing actually that we can do this -- unless you're a [programmer] and reading still requires careful consideration.

 

I stumbled on "total", "incredible" and a few other words, so I guess I'm a "kid".

I want to clarify a little better. When in wrote that my wife was yelling and thrashing around in pain, so I made it quick.

Just to clarify, it is my wife with the kidney stones and bladder infection. I never explicitly asked, but I'm assuming the bladder infection is caused by the kidney stones.

Yes the kidney stones are 9mm each.

Unfortunately the Urologist is a hard person to track down so all they did last night was try a couple of different drugs to manage her pain, and an antibiotic for the bladder infection.

Now we are home, but have to wait until Monday to book an appointment with the Urologist. Hopefully they get her in quick and figure out a plan of action. Typically any kidney stones over 4mm get an ultrasonic blast to break it up a bit. While that can potentially cause more pain, it allows her to pass them, and be done with it sooner. 9mm is too large to pass on its own.

(I want to point out I live in Canada. Healthcare is free, but slow as all hell.)
