| Of Stents and Stones |

Destentified. Took a Tylenol 3 in the waiting room afterwards for when the local wore off, but have not needed a second, at least so far.
Curiously, the stones blasted out of my bladder two weeks ago turned out to be uric acid of the sort that tends to form in the joints of my left foot, rather than the calcium oxylate that was growing in my kidney.
So everything looks good for Sunday as far as my health goes, and Srsti has picked up the tickets, which I understand have our names in bar code. I do hope they included Maya's full name as I submitted it; her married name is not on her driver's license. I think I have a marriage certificate in a sock drawer just in case.
I haven't been walking this comfortably in weeks -- or is it months? Seems like years.
On the Vatican front, I was pleased to see several Copts and maybe even a Nestorian at the ecumenical service at St. Joseph's on live TV this evening, but disappointed that none was presented to the Pope. Armenian is about as exotic as they got. Is it because the Armenians are Chalcedonians, monothelite rather than monophysite? (Is this geeky, or what?) |

It is even more 'or what' in the Orthodox world.
The Antiochians don't recognize the Copts, the
Greeks do. I won't belabor. The Ethiopians and
Copts here can commune in the Greek church but
we Greeks can't commune in theirs. Since there are
no Armenian churches here and a friend's mother
longed for worship and a community, she joined
the Antiochian church at which time she was
rechrismated and had to renounce the Armenian
church. Lord have mercy!!!!
