The reason I had to miss the race is that my wife's infection returned after being discharged on Wednesday, being declared infection free. She developed fever, so the urologist told me to bring her to the ER. At any rate, she is in the hospital for treatment. Perhaps when they remove the stent from her kidney, it will solve the problem. They removed the offending kidney stone last Sunday, but she keeps redeveloping infections. After going the ER route for admission three times in 28 days, my frustration quota is maxed out.
