Day 151: Are you kidding me?

Figures. I get through to Friday, everything feeling great and I develop yet another [FOXTROT]ing Kidney Stone! This time, it hit me at work. I worked through as long as I could, but had to leave work about 3 hours early. I went to get my daughter and we headed for home. I took a lortab and soaked in a warm bath for about an hour until the lortab kicked in. Went pretty fuzzy after that. So much for my plans to go out this weekend. Short of the stone moving out quickly, I'm going to have to take it easy until it does move. [sigh]

That also screwed up my water and protein intake for today as well. With a stone on the move, I tend to get nauseous and eating and drinking are both iffy at best. Oh well. Hopefully my doctor will be able to figure out what's causing them THIS time. This is the first time in almost 4 years that I've gotten stones this close together. Last time the doctors figured out that my stones were caused by stress. I hope that's not the case this time.

I do need to clarify something I've been overstating the last couple of days. I'm not having trouble keeping solids down unless I eat too much. I just can't eat a lot at one time. So if anybody has been worried about that, don't be.

My friend found out today that overextending yourself this soon after surgery will drain your energy really quickly. I hope she learned that today. She went for a long walk, twice anything she tried before and tired herself out quickly. It's a learning process, but I don't want her to over do it trying to speed up her weight loss. I don't want her to hurt herself. I don't what I would do if I lost her for good and I'm not ready to find out.

See y'all later.
