My adventure

Those of you that see me often will appreciate an update on this one... for the last couple of weeks I have been passing another kidney stone- last count, this is number eleven. I gave in and finally made an appointment with the Urologist. By the time the appointment came, I had been running a fever, had intense pain, and was not urinating as often or as much as I should.
Off to the appointment we go... the Urologist has the nerve to tell me that he doesn't think it's a kidney stone but maybe a dislocated rib. I was so angry... so, bless my patient mother, off to the regular doctor we go.
He takes an x-ray and confirms that I have dislocated ribs and need to go to a physical therapist to have them fixed.
Bless my mother again because instead of waiting to get an appointment, she takes me to her PT and asks if they can fix me... they work me in! The PT applied some tortures to my body and low and behold, I can breathe again!
By now, I know you are all thinking that the kidney stone was a figment of my enormous imagination. Well, all I can figure is that the PT did enough rearranging that he broke it loose... I passed it two days later, urinated out all the blocked up blood and now feel a hundred times better.
For those that are curious, yes I did catch it, it was the size of a piece of rice. No, I am not taking it to the Urologist... he thinks I'm nuts anyways!

Memories...

This is a great request from Kim... here your go- I'll be interested to see what comments I get

1. Add a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

The newest addition to the family...

No, I am not pregnant! However, we have a new addition to our family. His name is Bob. For those of you that go to Costco with your kids, you will totally understand this. For those that don't, let me explain... when you leave Costco, they check your receipt and mark it with a marker. If the kids ask, they will put a smiley face on their hands. We go to Costco on, at least, a weekly basis and the kids ALWAYS get the smiley face. A couple of weeks ago, the girls told Taylor that his smiley face had a name, it's Bob. So... needless to say Taylor now asks for Bob. He kisses Bob, talks to Bob and in general loves Bob! If he doesn't have Bob on his hands (yes, he now has to have two Bobs, one for each hand) he will find a marker and draw all over his hands. I guess I will just humor him... this is just a stage, right? I'm not going to have to send him to high school with Bob, am I!?!
