This too, has not passed

The weekend did not bring out the kidney stone, yet. Dale endures the pain pretty well, remains quiet, and tries to be in good spirits. But, oh my! As I spoke with people at church today, they all grimaced at the thought. I suspect, they know from experience. Dale's appetite increased today from yesterday, so I believe the pain is not as severe. He is weak and his stamina he built is now lost. Since his immunity is fragile, I wonder if kidney stones will cause some other complication or if it will take longer to pass and Dale will have to endure more of the pain.
