Today definitely didn't go as planned. While at work this morning, I was abruptly hit with an intense pain on my left side. One trip to the ER, a few tests, and several hours later, I was diagnosed with kidney stones. Thankfully, the pain subsided a couple hours later. But I was so glad I'd chosen to wear my poncho today. I spent the afternoon warm and relatively comfy wearing it over the hospital gown. I had to leave the room a couple times and appreciated the modesty the poncho provided. It actually worked better for the situation than a coat or jacket would have.
