Monday......The kidney stone chronicles continue

I stayed home today. Woke up twice in the night, nausea ...sweating.....and that " pain".........felt really awful this morning....like I had the flu. I am taking Flomax...yes, the drug for men which helps them "go".........I asked if it was going to make me grow a beard or anything and the dr. said NO. He didn't laugh.
I have a kidney stone in my ureter tube. Replay of the last several times. Give it a week.....if it doesn't pass...........SURGERY. UGH. I have had THAT surgery three times and have had lithotripsy once. You cannot have lithotripsy once the stone leaves the kidney.
GROSS.
Simply GROSS.
Two years ago I put the surgery off and developed hydronephrosis.....NOT GOOD. Kidney blocked off and no where to send fluid. Quick surgery....and a stent. Don't ask.....you really don't want to know. The stent is a midevil torture system meant to last two weeks.

Enough of that.

I still fed horses this morning. I was getting my coat on and my husband said...YOU are NOT going to feed this morning? I replied that perhaps he was? Nuf said. I left the house, fed and watered , then drug my sorry carcass home.

I had a volunteer work all day at the farm........Cherri........she is a carpenter and spent all day fixing loafing sheds. She didn't even critique my building skills......and listen...she should have! Cherri we are so glad to have you.....WELCOME!

Kim was there this afternoon and walked Max, as he had stocked up legs...not sure why....perhaps because we made his paddock smaller and he is not walking as much. Kim linamented his legs too.

What a great crew we have.

Saturday we plan the Pony Up Cocktail party.....the week before Thanksgiving, by invitation only.....I might know someone who can get you in!
Black tie ...cocktail dress attire.....should be fun.

I am off to take more medicine.

Pony Up fortune for tomorrow:

Good things come in small packages........look for it soon.
