Soooo just got a call from the doctor. I went on Monday for a check up, and totally unrelated I get a call to tell me I have a kidney stone. ???????? And the message is "but you arent in pain right now, so we cant do anything, so let us know when you do experience pain and then we will figure it out. Drink water. Have a nice day." But as far as I know about stones is pain doesnt just suddenly come on. It usually just hits you like BAM and next thing you know you are in hospital.
interesting turn of events.
Well that just effing sucks.
The earth just moved for me and I swear I wasn't touching anyone or vice versa.
I called them. They said I have a 50/50 shot. It can either pass unnoticed or will be painful. No telling when or how until it happens. Great. I think i would have preferred not knowing and it just hit, instead of me now dreading/anticipating every day. joy.
And I can't drink tea. which is the only thing I drink besides water. so now my life really has come down to water and salad, and its not by choice.

An earthquake north of Kansas? Oh my.....
Tink -Are we putting you on a "watch"?
I guess so, Moony! Have a bottle of Patron on hand, because nothing is ruining my weekend plans, I'll drink the pain away!

Welcome to my daughter's life.
Poor Moonchild. I wouldnt wish it on anyone.
I passed a kidney stone about 10 years ago. I think it would've been nice to know something like that was coming, I wouldn't have freaked out when I got up to go pee in the middle of the night and it was blood red. THAT freaked me out.
Quake in the NE? Welcome to our world! Though a 3.8 hardly makes it to the news around these parts.

I'm tracking a match on an outer Wimbledon court that's been going on for almost 8 1/2 HOURS! They don't do tiebreaks in the last set, and you have to win by two games - and they're tied at 50 games each.
OY!
Sorry, Tink!
My Shelbygirl is graduating high school in a few hours, and I was just texting with her mom (my cousin). She said it just hit her today, and she's a mess. So, of course, reading that got me all verklempt now.

Tink - did they at least prescribe some painkillers in advance?
I have never had one, but have heard they are not pleasant.
nope. fun fun. But thinking good thoughts... well as good of thoughts that it is possible for me to think. optimism was never my strong suit.

Sort of.
I'm less than thrilled that despite the fact that I've sent in a request for my password and username and they were exactly what I thought they were, I still can't log into my account.
Sigh. I wonder if Kringas is available?

I'm going to tell papa you said that.
And 'hi' to Patronus!
Visitors today! (or was it yesterday?...)
I'm sorry I missed all the fun!
Welcome back, Patronus!
And, Kansas... hope things are well in your part of the world.
I want my life back, please.
I really, truly want my life back.
I'm about to break.
Addy! Please, don't break!
Ok! I promise!
...you've brought a smile to my face, hep!

No breaking allowed, thank you.
Kite-flying, high teas, and dancing with penguins - all acceptable.
No breaking, though, sorry.
Those all sound wonderful.
No breaking. I promise.
A tea party in the garden for Hep and Q!
Thanks for the cheer!
