Thank you for your caring comments on my last post. My brother is home again and doing fine after getting “a big shot in the butt.” It’s definitely a kidney stone, and he’s on painkillers and some special medicine to help him pass it. They were at the hospital for several hours, and we ran to the American store for goodies to cheer him up when he got back. We have guests coming tonight and are making turkey tetrazzini for dinner. Packing has commenced, which makes me sad. I don’t want them to all leave!! Christmas went WAY too fast....

My brother went by ambulance this morning to the hospital with terrible stomach pains. The paramedics think it’s possibly kidney stones and not appendicitis. He wasn’t feeling well last night but made it through The Return of the King. Anders went to the hospital with Simone to act as interpreter. I’m no good at waiting.
