Still Stoned

Previously on 'Still Stoned': Last October WorDazza was struck down with a kidney stone. A CT Scan in late November revealed it to be still present. All 2.5mm of it. With no sign of it having passed naturally our hero is summoned once again to the hospital. Episode 2: WorDazza arrives in good time, at Urology outpatients, and is immediately summoned to give a urine sample which this time he provides with ease, not falling into the same trap as last time when he relieved himself immediately prior to leaving for the hospital and was only able to provide a sample some 1 hour and 15 minutes (and about a gallon of water) after arrival. After a brief chat with the consultant, who confirmed nothing sinister in the sample, our hero is sent to the x-ray department to confirm the presence, or otherwise of the calcified interloper. On arriving at the x-ray department he is informed that there is no record of him on the system and maybe he should be at the other x-ray department (2 x-ray departments!! That's just showing off!). Same story at the other x-ray department so WorDazza trudges back to Urology outpatients to see WTF is going on. After 15 minutes a smiley nurse informs our hero that the consultant got distracted (probably counting his money!!) and forgot to add me to the system!! But that's OK, the nurse was smiley!!! Back in x-ray and WorDazza is taken into a small room before being stripped and made to wear a rather unflattering gown!! Let's hope Meghan's does more for her than this did for me!! It's fortunate that our hero is not claustrophobic as the short wait he was promised turned slowly into 30 minutes. In a room the size of a toilet cubicle! With no windows!! Long past the point he thought he was the subject of a Twilight Zone episode and was being left to die in a tiny room, and just before the point he was about to attract attention to his continued presence and knock on the door asking if they had any more toilet paper, he was saved. Total time walking around the hospital trying to get onto the system and waiting around in dreary, unflattering fashion, 1 hour. Total x-ray time, 30 seconds!!! Coming up on 'Still Stoned': WorDazza finds out if he is indeed 'Still Stoned' and requires the insertion of medical equipment into places nothing (and I mean NOTHING!!) should be inserted. EVER!! Stay tuned!!
