agree on all counts, rk. so far on the road, feeling better than i have in a long time, just a little drowsy - wife driving. most pain and discomfort i’ve been through...second night/morning i cried uncle...literally. only relief was a scalding hot shower on my back. wife had to help me dress, i couldn’t even walk 3 1/2 blocks to urgent care, hailed a cab.

we were there when they opened at 8, took me straight to the back and gave me a shot, brought immediate relief. felt like i could jump off the table and hit the streets again, incredible difference in seconds.

got a follow up call while writing this post (i’m slow on iphone), doc said what you said- keep taking meds until done. official imaging results are ok, everything sent to my gp, we’ll see about zapping the gallstones next.
