Yay! Dr. E said it came out pretty easily. It was big though…I got to see both it AND a picture of it and that sucker was not pretty. Definitely in the top 3 of the 20 or so stones I’ve passed without lithotripsy. Technically, though, I didn’t pass this one. Regardless, it was big [...]

Looks like the stone hasn’t passed…or if it has, I missed it. So unless something changes between now and 9:15 tomorrow morning, surgery is on for Tuesday. Not how I wanted to spend the week before our beach vacation, but I guess there are worse things. Luckily the recovery is pretty easy and I’ll be [...]

So say a prayer, huh? I’m not passing this stone and they are going to go in after it if it’s still there Monday. Since I’m not exactly interested in having surgery the week before we go to the beach, it would be nice if I passed this thing before then.

So if you haven’t been under a rock, you know a lot of the country is having a heat wave. It’s August, so it’s a given here. Yesterday was awful, though! It hit the highest temperature EVER recorded in Raleigh. And it was even hotter here in our little town. At one point, my little [...]

I know I’ve been whining a lot lately. It’s boring and annoying and I’m sick of it myself. So today, only good news!
C is officially walking. He had been taking steps on his own, but was mostly content to crawl. Well, last week that all changed! He is now walking probably 90% of the time [...]

My whole life seems to revolve around kidney stones these days. I am completely exhausted because I’m not sleeping well, even with narcotics. The pain makes me want to throw myself off a cliff at times. I only leave the house when absolutely necessary because it is miserably hot and because I cannot take the [...]

I’m home from my trip to Knoxville. It was a nice few days, but I’m glad to be back. I still haven’t passed that stone unless I missed it somehow. Plus I’m still feeling some pain, so it’s probably stuck. That likely means he’ll have to scope it out…and D is going to be out [...]

This may be the answer to my kidney stones. No definite yet, but the symptoms fit. I currently have a stone in my ureter (confirmed with x-ray) that is causing some problems, so they won’t be able to do the test they want to do until that clears. I have another appt scheduled for next [...]

We’ve got C outfitted for the next few months, and with a minimum of expenditure thanks to the big sales and absence of tax for the weekend. I can no longer shop for him in the infants section, he has graduated to toddler. Nevermind that he’s technically not a toddler yet! J [...]
