I'm Stoned!


So the last few days I have been passing ALOT of kidney stones. I had to have a procedure called lithotipsy to "shake and break" the stones in my right kidney so I could pass them. I still have to have my left kidney done as well. So it's save to say that "I'm stoned" and not in a good way. When I had the CT scan it showed I had more than 7 stones in both sides with 1.1 cm stones in both sides. For those of you that don't know, those are some BIG stones. But apparently they are and were only a third of the size of the ones I had 3 years ago. So crazy! So wish me luck that I pass all these stupid things and can be rid of all this pain!

You're so funny Heather! I was totally the same way - "I should just wait to pick up the last one, I'm not ready for it to be over........" but in the end, my curiosity won out and I eagerly read through the last 750 pages =) Take care!
