Squinney--
Gus as Prince Charming? Wait until you're off pain meds before making long-range decisions.
If sheep may safely graze, I don't know why the deer shouldn't as well.
Will you be howling on the 18th?
Is the mineral content of tears in your area be higher than "normal"? Would this be consistant with kidney stones?
More pain meds and ibuprofen which supposedly helps relax the ureters for easier passage. Still seems to be at the same location - top of the ureter / bottom of the kidney. Doc said that if it doesn't pass by Monday to plan on minor surgery. With the location they can't really "shock wave" it to break it up. That's only affective in the kidney where it has room to break apart. They'd have to put me out and go in with a scope to laser it down to passable size.
Okay, 50/50 so I need everyone to pull for the 50 that says it'll pass. Can't do the surgery thing no matter how minor.
She also said that we have a higher incidence of kidney stones in the South than anywhere in the world. May be due to tempature / climate, or that we drink so much tea and eat rhubarb pie.
She said to avoid: Tea, chocolate, too many green leafy vegetables.
She said to partake of: Crystal light, (something about acidic oxidates?) and coffee is okay. It has caffiene like tea, but tea has something in the leaves...
I also asked her if she was voting today based solely on health care plans who would she vote for and she said she likes Hillary's plan, liked the one she had 14 years ago, but doesn't trust that it will get passed due to lobbiest ties, etc. She's voting for Obama, hoping he will get a universal health care plan through.
Do-it-yourself, Squinney. Do-it-yourself.
Rah. Rah. Rah.
With you, Sweets... (who else d'ya know that would be interviewing the physician on political choices while in pain.... I just love you, girl.)

I like Hllarys plan the best I'm but I'm voting for Obama hoping he'll get his plan through even though I said I like Hillarys plan best.
Please give me the name of this doctor so I know never to go to her.
Pass pass pass!
And, stone? If you could like spontaneously combust, quietly and harmlessly, that'd be good. Emphasis on harmlessly though, 'K?
Take care, Squinney...
Sounds like we need a combination of
"Fantastic Voyage" and
"Armageddon" with miniature jackhammer operators being injected into your kidney to locate and shatter that stone!
This too shall pass. This too shall pass. This too shall pass. oooooommmmmm
Pass, you stubborn stone!
Yikes! come on stone -- MOVE on outta there!
Trying to work my ways with the Stone Gods....

Thanks for the details, squinney. I hope you can avoid surgery. A few months ago I asked BPB to post after every bathroom visit. I cannot ask you to do the same (because you and I are of different genders).
I liked Henry Bibby in his day...
Ooooommmmming for passing painlessly and/or spontaneously and harmlessly combusting.
Feel better, squinney.
Squinney?
How are you now?
I might choose to have a broken heart rather than kidney stones.
Oooooommmmm.
