    Too far gone

    I know I'm past the point of no return with kilting. A week ago Tuesday, I woke up at midnight in writhing pain. My gut ached as well as my back. I couldn't stand up. My wife, being the smart woman she is, insisted on taking me to the Emergency Room. I got up, got dressed (kilt, shirt, hose, boots and coat) and hobbled to the car with her. I continued to writhe upon arrival, having difficulty paying attention to the intake nurse. Once the preliminaries were over, we went to the lobby to wait (not long thankfully). It turns out I'm the proud papa of a bouncing baby kidney stone. I don't recommend it to anyone.

    The point of this story is that while in the waiting room, my wife leaned over and said, "you know that you managed to have your hose match your shirt". I've got it bad boys....

    Wow. When I had kidney stones five or six years ago, I barely managed to make sure I had clothes on when I headed for the ED!

    Is it contageous? Kilting that is not the stones.

    Hope you recover soon.

    Yep,...you're a lost cause. Forever doomed to wear the kilt.

    I had stones about twenty years ago, not a lot of fun. Hope your well soon.

    People do say you need stones to wear a kilt in the first place!

    Get well soon.
